What does this MR do and why?

gitlab-qa#726 (closed)

Runners have been updated to have more CPUs, this created more logging which filled up /dev/shm and caused all E2E tests to fail.

This was reported in gitlab-org/quality/engineering-productivity/master-broken-incidents#7229 (closed) and the fix was identified as:

...we updated gitlab-qa to run the gitlab container with a shm_size of 256mb gitlab-qa!1336 (merged) (note: this is the recommended shm_size)

This MR uses a patched version of gitlab-qa compatible with the 16-11 stable branch.

This MR also:

  • skips the qa cng pipeline (same as other stable branches)
  • fixes code suggestions spec as per #479467 (closed)
