Restrict the usage of value-description variables to root
What does this MR do?
Related to #30101 (closed)
The feature introduced by !43392 (merged) and !44120 (merged).
When introducing the pre-filled variables feature, we allow variables to be defined with value and description. However, we don't need to allow usage of this for job variables.
This MR just restricts the usage of this syntax to only root variables:
variables:
TEST:
value: "some value" # this would be the default value
description: "This variable makes cakes delicious" # makes this variable appear on the Run Pipeline form
