License Mode Omnibus Configuration

This configuration is used to set the License Mode in GitLab to test.

When GitLab’s License Mode is set to test, GitLab will not enforce License Key encryption to activate an instance
with an Enterprise License

What happens?

GitLab-QA will set the environment variable GITLAB_LICENSE_MODE=test and set the CUSTOMER_PORTAL_URL= where URL
is ENV['CUSTOMER_PORTAL_URL'] or CDot Staging (https://customers.staging.gitlab.com).
