Gitlabform

Refactors

* use graphql to get member_roles to reduce permission level required [915](https://github.com/gitlabform/gitlabform/pull/915), relates to [Gitlab Issue 511919](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/511919#note_2287581884) ([Tim Knight (DWP)](https://github.com/TimKnight-DWP)).
- graph ql GET member_roles only needs Guest+ permissions
- REST requires significantly higher permission sets which not all users maybe comfortable running with
-  improve error handling and logging when users etc are not found

Bug Fixes

* fix: gracefully handle "missing" Users when trying to remove from Project or Group [913](https://github.com/gitlabform/gitlabform/pull/913), closes [#912](https://github.com/gitlabform/gitlabform/issues/912) ([Tim Knight (DWP)](https://github.com/TimKnight-DWP))

Build Fixes

* test: mark 'TestVariables::test__builds_disabled' as skipped [909](https://github.com/gitlabform/gitlabform/pull/909) ([amimas](https://github.com/amimas))

GitLab API behaviour changed in current latest version (17.7.0) for listing project ci variables.
This is causing test failure and blocking changes from merging. The API changes do not have any breaking impact for gitlabform.
So, marking the currently failing test to be skipped.
It can be re-enabled again based on findings from the issue created in GitLab's backlog at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/511237
