What does this MR do and why?

Describe in detail what your merge request does and why.

Tagging stage in the monthly release tasks

 Tag day: Wednesday, Sep 18
  • Start the monthly_release_tag_day:prepare job in the monthly release pipeline: https://example.com/foo/bar/-/pipelines/1
    • Jobs to verify the integrity of the stable branches (monthly_release_tag_day:ensure_stable_branches_green) and the mirror status (monthly_release_tag_day:mirror_status) will start automatically.
  • Once the above jobs are green, trigger the monthly_release_tag_day:start_tag job: https://example.com/foo/bar/-/pipelines/1
    • This job will tag the final 17.4.0 version.
  • The monthly_release_tag_day:check_omnibus_packages_tagging job will be triggered 90 minutes after tagging completes. However, if possible, you can start it earlier. In case the job fails, troubleshoot the issue, and rerun the job.
    • Check that the CNG Images are built: CNG builds.
    • Check that the Helm chart is built by making sure the publish_tagged_package job succeeded: v8.4.0
  • After tagging, the release.gitlab.net instance was automatically updated with the latest monthly release. Corroborate if the deployment was successful by verifying that the monthly_release_tag_day:verify_release_deploy job succeeded.
    • A Slack notification with Validate release.gitlab.net running 17.4.0 has successfully executed will be sent to #f_upcoming_release.
  • Validate 17.4.0 has been passed automated QA by ensuring the release-gitlab-qa-smoke job from the release deploy pipeline is green.

Past this point, no new code can be added to the release that was not included in the final RC.
