This makes it possible to access static build variables even when an
object is not persisted yet. This will allow us to evaluate build
variables using only/except policies before deciding whether we actually
want to persist the build in the database, or not.

This is a first step to decouple pipeline from YAML processing. It
reduces the coupling by removing some methods that introduce coupling
and by moving logic into separate chain element that is being used to
populate pipelines with stages and builds.
