What does this MR do and why?
The CI/CD Settings page is only accessible to maintainer plus roles. But the link shows up for developers as well and returns a 404. We do not want to present links that cannot be accessed by design. Therefore, for <maintainer roles the link is not shown anymore.
To improve the user experience, a Learn more link to the docs link for CI/CD variables was added.

How to set up and validate locally
Numbered steps to set up and validate the change are strongly suggested.
- Visit any project page.
- On the left sidebar go to
Build > Pipelines. - Click on the blue
New pipelinebutton on the top right. - Click on the
CI/CD settingslink.
You can reach the Pipelines page by visiting a project and appending /pipelines/new to the URL. On the GDK, you can just visit the page http://127.0.0.1:3000/flightjs/Flight/-/pipelines/new.
There are two cases depending on the role of the user you use:
- <maintainer: The link navigates to the page https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/variables/#define-a-cicd-variable-in-the-ui.
- maintainer plus: The link navigates to the CI/CD settings page.
A <maintainer user in the FlightJs project is Eleonore Beer / mirian. By using the Impersonate button you do not have to create a new user and so on.
