Hi,

this is the second version of this patch series that adds GitLab CI definitions to the Git project. Please refer to the cover letter for v1 of this series [1] for the motivation and intent -- I won't repeat it here as it's a bit on the longer side.

Changes compared to v1:
    - Improved commit messages.
    - The `group ()` function is now generic across all the different CI
      solutions to reduce duplication.
This should hopefully address the feedback from Oswald -- thanks again!
Patrick

    -    that indicates _which_ group should end. This will be required by a
    -    later commit that introduces support for GitLab CI.
    +    Furthermore, the `group ()` function is made generic so that it is the
    +    same for both GitHub Actions and for other platforms. There is a
    +    semantic conflict here though: GitHub Actions used to call `set +x` in
    +    `group ()` whereas the non-GitHub case unconditionally uses `set -x`.
    +    The latter would get overriden if we kept the `set +x` in the generic
    +    version of `group ()`. To resolve this conflict, we simply drop the `set
    +    +x` in the generic variant of this function. As `begin_group ()` calls
    +    `set -x` anyway this is not much of a change though, as the only
    +    commands that aren't printed anymore now are the ones between the
    +    beginning of `group ()` and the end of `begin_group ()`.

    -    set up proper groups for those dependencise. This allows the reader to

    +    into collapsible sections, and we're also doing this in some of our
    +    scripts.
    +
    +    One notable omission is the script to install Docker dependencies.
    +    Address it to bring more structure to the output for Docker-based jobs.
