[PATCH v2 0/2] QEMU Gating CI

[Cleber Rosa]

The idea about a public facing Gating CI for QEMU was summarized in an
RFC[1].  Since then, it was decided that a simpler version should be
attempted first.

At this point, there are two specific runners (an aarch64 and an s390)
registered with GitLab, at https://gitlab.com/qemu-project, currently
setup to the "qemu" repository.

Changes from v1:

- Added jobs that require specific GitLab runners already available
  (Ubuntu 20.04 on aarch64, and Ubuntu 18.04 on s390x)
- Removed jobs that require specific GitLab runners not yet available
  (Fedora 30, FreeBSD 12.1)
- Updated documentation
- Added copyright and license to new scripts
- Moved script to from "contrib" to "scripts/ci/"
- Moved setup playbooks form "contrib" to "scripts/ci/setup"
- Moved "gating.yml" to ".gitlab-ci.d" directory
- Removed "staging" only branch restriction on jobs defined in
  ".gitlab-ci.yml", assumes that the additional jobs on the staging
  branch running on the freely available gitlab shared runner are
  positive
- Dropped patches 1-3 (already merged)
- Simplified amount of version specifity on Ubuntu, from 18.04.3 to
  simply 18.04 (assumes no diverse minor levels will be used or
  specific runners)

Changes from the RFC patches[2] accompanying the RFC document:

- Moved gating job definitions to .gitlab-ci-gating.yml
- Added info on "--disable-libssh" build option requirement
  (https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1838763) to Ubuntu 18.04 jobs
- Added info on "--disable-glusterfs" build option requirement
  (there's no static version of those libs in distro supplied
  packages) to one
- Dropped ubuntu-18.04.3-x86_64-notools job definition, because it
  doesn't fall into the general scope of gating job described by PMM
  (and it did not run any test)
- Added w32 and w64 cross builds based on Fedora 30
- Added a FreeBSD based job that builds all targets and runs `make
  check`
- Added "-j`nproc`" and "-j`sysctl -n hw.ncpu`" options to make as a
  simple but effective way of speeding up the builds and tests by
  using a number of make jobs matching the number of CPUs
- Because the Ansible playbooks reference the content on Dockerfiles,
  some fixes to some Dockerfiles caught in the process were included
- New patch with script to check or wait on a pipeline execution
