CI/CD variable creation should set ("masked and hidden") by default

Proposal
The current UI has Visible CI/CD variables by default.
The API also sets Visible as a default value (through masked and masked_and_hidden being set to false) https://docs.gitlab.com/api/project_level_variables/#create-a-variable
The default value should be Masked and hidden to move away from our current "fail open" workflow which requires users to manually increase the security of the visibility setting.
