New interruptible attribute supported in YAML parsing.

Since it is not possible to dynamically detect if a job is automatically
cancellable or not, a this new attribute is necessary. Moreover, it let
the maintainer of the repo to adjust the behaviour of the auto cancellation
feature to match exactly what he needs.

+### `interruptible`
+
+`interruptible` is used to indicate that a job should be canceled if made redundant by a newer run of the same job. Defaults to `false` if there is an environment defined and `true` otherwise.
+This value will only be used if the [automatic cancellation of redundant pipelines feature](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pipelines/settings.html#auto-cancel-pending-pipelines)
+is enabled.
+
+When enabled, a pipeline on the same branch will be canceled when:
+
+- It is made redundant by a newer pipeline run.
+- Either all jobs are set as interruptible, or any uninterruptible jobs are not yet pending.
+
+Pending jobs are always considered interruptible.
+
+TIP: **Tip:**
+Set jobs as uninterruptible that should behave atomically and should never be canceled once started.
+
+Here is a simple example:
+
+```yaml
+stages:
+  - stage1
+  - stage2
+
+step-1:
+  stage: stage1
+  script:
+    - echo "Can be canceled"
+  
+step-2:
+  stage: stage2
+  script:
+    - echo "Can not be canceled"
+  interruptible: false
+```
+
+In the example above, a new pipeline run will cause an existing running pipeline to be:
+
+- Canceled, if only `step-1` is running or pending.
+- Not canceled, once `step-2` becomes pending.
