Resolve "Improve CI template organization"

.gitlab-industrial-ci-no-rosinstall.yml now has most of the gitlab logic
.gitlab-industrial-ci-with-rosinstall.yml just includes the no-rosinstall version and changes the template
.gitlab-industrial-ci-kinetic-*-rosinstall.yml include their respective main yml and set a variable DEFAULT_DISTRO to kinetic
It has a workflow that checks the commit branch name and overwrites the variable DEFAULT_DISTRO accordingly.
Each distro is built if it matches with the DEFAULT_DISTRO or if a variable BUILD_KINETIC is set.

Using this approach:

The behaviour of gitlab-industrial-ci-kinetic-*-rosinstall.yml remains unchanged, as it builds the distro depending on the branch name and defaults to kinetic (see pipelines #55811 #55812 #55813 #55813 #55814 ¹ ).
We could easily create gitlab-industrial-ci-melodic-with-rosinstall.yml
One can set up the CI to test compile multiple distros of ROS by including .gitlab-industrial-ci-no-rosinstall.yml and setting the BUILD_KINETIC and BUILD_MELODIC variables. (See this ci definition and its pipeline #55816 ¹ )

Notes:

These pipelines run on branches that were made from the main of dummy_application, which works on kinetic and melodic, but not on noetic.

Looks great, good job!
