[ALM Accelerator - Feature]: Adding / Removing Steps to Existing Profiles

[mikefactorial]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

While it's possible to initialize a new solution with any number of deployment steps. Adding new steps or removing steps after the fact is not currently handled completely. Pipelines aren't removed if a step gets deleted, which is okay, not ideal but if the pipeline isn't going to be used it just sits unused in the AzDO project. However, adding new steps does require, today, that the Solution Branch be committed to directly which isn't possible when there is a Branch policy restricting direct updates.

Describe the solution you'd like

Adding new steps should allow for the new pipeline template and the associated pipeline to be created on the subsequent commit after a new step is added. Need to think through the best implementation of this given how pipeline templates are generated and the state of the Solution branch once it exists.

AB#1418

Ideally, new pipelines would be created in the working branch rather than the solution branch in order to accomplish this.
