Include actor information to the default variables

Problem Definition

No pipelines variable is presenting who performed the current build.

Suggested Solution

Add something like BITBUCKET_BUILD_ACTOR to default variables of custom pipelines.

Workaround

You can retrieve pipeline's actor information as "creator" attribute via REST API like as below:

REPOS="__USERNAME__/__SLUG__"
curl -L --request GET \
  --header "Accept: application/json" \
  --url "https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/${REPOS}/pipelines/?pagelen=100"

It's a bit messy but probably you can determine the current pipeline with BITBUCKET_BUILD_NUMBER variable.
