Description

Today, I wanted to add an IntervalTimer trigger, and I wanted to have the delta set in configuration.

I think it would be advantageous to allow end-users of my pack to set the interval delta (and unit) in configuration instead of having to edit the pack's yaml file.

trigger:
  type: "core.st2.IntervalTimer"
  parameters:
    unit: "{{config_context.rule1_unit}}"
    delta: {{config_context.rule1_delta}

Research direction
This issue requests that pack configuration be exposed to rules/triggers, allowing users to set parameters like interval delta in config instead of pack YAML. Review related issue #3183 for context. The implementation likely requires modifying trigger parameter resolution to access pack config context. Look at the pack config loading code and how trigger parameters are currently resolved in st2. Consider the configuration schema and how to expose it to trigger definitions.
