Exclude experiments changes from triggering package-and-qa

Nailia Iskhakova requested to merge qe-exclude-experiments-from-package-qa into master

What does this MR do and why?

Describe in detail what your merge request does and why.

The MR changes feature-flag-config-patterns to only track feature_flags/development folder and exclude feature_flags/experiment. The reason is that when a new experiment is added, package-and-qa job is failing (see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-qa-mirror/-/jobs/1702525995) with this error:

bundler: failed to load command: bin/qa (bin/qa)
RuntimeError: --set-feature-flags requires flag name and flag state for each flag, e.g., flag1=enabled,flag2=disabled
  /home/gitlab/qa/qa/scenario/bootable.rb:26:in `block (4 levels) in launch!'

Experiments are quite different from FF: FF has either A/B variant when GLEX can have A/B/n states. I think this area should be explored separately as a next iteration from !68814 (merged) as it's more complicated.

Please see !69299 (comment 710605854) for further details.
