Add gitlab-CI support

The buildroot repository is now mirrored on
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot so we can use Gitlab-CI to test Buildroot. Gitlab-CI is controlled by a .gitlab-ci.yml file that exists in the repository.

For now, the only test is building all defconfigs (inspired on
https://travis-ci.org/buildroot/buildroot-defconfig-testing/). Since all the defconfigs have to be specified in the .gitlab-ci.yml file, we generate the file based on .gitlab-ci.yml.in. The generated .gitlab-ci.yml file has to be committed into the repository, though, otherwise Gitlab-CI doesn't see it. So there is also a test to verify that .gitlab-ci.yml is up-to-date.

Building all the defconfigs takes a long time. Gitlab-CI will do that every time it pulls from git.buildroot.org, which is once per hour. That is way too often. Therefore, the defconfigs are not built on pull, but only on explicit trigger through the API or when a tag is added.

v3: - check-gitlab-ci.yml: make sure .gitlab-ci.yml doesn't exist, so it
is really regenerated.
- Factor defconfig_script in a separate anchor, for easy testing of a limited set of defconfigs.
- fix typo (Marcus)
- install packages with --no-install-recommends (Marcus)
- explicitly add ca-certificates, rsync and file packages (Marcus)

v2: Remove the custom before-script for check-gitlab-ci.yml.
'make' is needed, so most of the rest of the before script is needed as well, so it's not so useful to avoid it.

I pushed to my private buildroot clone on gitlab and triggered a build. See https://gitlab.com/arnout/buildroot/pipelines/6435620

I think it would be useful to still apply this to master.

Dear Arnout,

the typo is not quite fixed, I believe ;-).
See below.

What is the next step now? Who is going to run in a cronjob the thing that triggers the build?

Can we setup a notification on the mailing
list and/or IRC when there is a failure?

I've added LC_ALL=C when calling ls -1, because I did not had the same order as yours when regenerating the list of defconfigs. Apparently, depending on the locales armadeus is before or after arm_.

And I've regenerated the list of defconfigs before pushing, of course.

Thanks!
