Support for dynamic LoopArguments (not currently supported in Tekton)

See original GitHub issue

/kind feature

Description:

Since Tekton doesn’t have loop/recursion support, PR #67 introduced a workaround for static loop parameters by flattening the loop with parallel TaskRuns. But for dynamic loop parameters, Tekton does not have a feature to support that.

While discussing https://github.com/tektoncd/pipeline/issues/2050 in a recent working group, it was pointed out that “looping” can refer to different sorts of loops, and the one that we’d be most likely to add into Tekton would be a kind of “for each” functionality, like a Python list comprehension. It’s (so far) not likely that we’d add generic dynamic looping, e.g. looping based on some state outside of the Pipeline.
