Add support for dot (.) in variables masking

Closes #37469

See merge request gitlab-org/gitlab!29022

The CI/CD Variables masking mechanism supports a limited number of
characters that can be masked. One of the currently unsuported ones
is the dot (.) character.

This makes it unusable for example for JWT tokens in
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/37469.

The current limitation is mostly required to prevent usage
of characters, that can be used in shell variables expansion, which
would make the final masking pattern unpredictable. With the Raw
Variables feature (that is under development) the restrictions could be
possibly reduced a little. However for now, we're needing them.

However, it seems that the dot (.) usage should not generate the problem
and it would improve the security of JSON Web Tokens passed to the CI/CD
job with the Variables.
