The loose foreign key was already added for this in
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/77636 .  We've
confirmed in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/348269 that
it is indeed safe to swap these foreign keys for loose foreign keys.

EE: true

Pass formats explicitly when rendering .html format

See merge request gitlab-org/gitlab!75782

Variable inheritance works implicitly

See merge request gitlab-org/gitlab!77462

The docs imply that one needs to use `dependencies` or `needs`
to gain variable inheritance in later jobs, but this isn't true. All jobs
in later stages will receive an inherited value without requiring
those keywords.

This change clarifies the documentation to reflect the observed
behavior. It also adds examples demonstrating how variable
inheritance can be turned off explicitly, and how inherited variables
may take precedence over other methods of variable definition.

The required format for the .env file is also explicitly stated, based
on its its implementation at:
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/2e5b4dbf3ab159f7ea4960d5fe7dfb06c7ed93e1/app/services/ci/parse_dotenv_artifact_service.rb#L55-58
