add API to read job meta information via git ref
requested to merge foss-contributions/gitlab:feature/add_api_to_read_job_meta_data_via_ref into master
What does this MR do?
Issue: Backend: feature addition: add API to read job ... (#348789)
This MR allows to query the server for the most recent CI data of a certain job, linked to a given git reference.
This comes in particularly handy, if a project's pipeline executes some job conditionally. So, instead of fetching and filtering the project's pipelines to find one that contains the meta data of the desired job, one can simply query the server.
How to setup and validate locally (strongly suggested)
See the example given in the added documentation.
