New runner registration flow

Joy Roodnick requested to merge e2e-new-runner-registration into master

What does this MR do and why?

Add support for our E2E system to use the new runner registration flow: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/runners/new_creation_workflow.html

The new flow creates a runner through this api https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/users.html#create-a-runner-linked-to-a-user, and uses a runner authentication token instead of registration token. There are changes to the gitlab-runner register command as well.

Runner registration tokens are being deprecated in 17.0 and currently scheduled for May 6-8: gitlab-com/Product#13310 (closed).

This change relates to gitlab-org/quality/quality-engineering/team-tasks#1726 (closed)
