docs update config ref to include example using YAML anchors for base-variables
What does this MR do?
As per https://forum.gitlab.com/t/stop-environment-git-strategy-when-we-depend-on-global-variables/31700, in the stop environment
job documentation example, it was unclear that the example had the adverse affect of wiping (overwriting) all base/global variables.
This is here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#environmentaction
This change denotes this fact, and adds an example of how to use YAML anchors to pull them in AND still set the GIT_STRATEGY
to none.
Other technical references in case reviewers are unfamiliar:
EDIT: per review feedback, we ended up putting the generic method in anchors section, and just referencing it from the environments section
