ci: do not trigger phabricator for merge-request

The fast the phabricator steps has a `rules` entry makes it selected for the
special `merge_requests` pipelines. The other ones behave as default and are not
selected tot the mrege_request pipelines.

This result in a second pipeline to be created, with only the phabricator
pipeline in it. Which usually succeed fast (since there is nothing to do).

This is harmful as this create a false sense of "the series is passing" and
Gitlab will use this simplistic pipeline for validation.

By explicitly preventing the pipeline to be created in the merge-request case,
we prevent this situation to happens

Note that the job will be dropped (alonside phabricator) in the next two weeks
anyway.

cHg
===

A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.

Install:

 $ make
 $ make install

Usage:

 $ chg help                 # show help of Mercurial
 $ alias hg=chg             # replace hg command
 $ chg --kill-chg-daemon    # terminate background server

Environment variables:

Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially
handled:

 * configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.
 * CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the
   background command server.

The following variables are available for testing:

 * CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.
 * CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
 * CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up
   connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60

Build environment variables:

 * HGPATH: the path to the hg executable to call when CHGHG and HG are not set,
   instead of "hg"
 * HGPATHREL=1: when CHGHG and HG are not set, the hg executable will be ./hg
   relative to the chg executable. Only works on linux, falls back to "hg"
   otherwise.
