Hi,

this is the fifth version of my patch series that introduces support for GitLab CI.

There are only minor changes compared to v4:
    - Patch 5: Fixed a typo in the commit message. Furthermore, I've
      dropped the note about `export VAR=value` being a Bashism.
    - Patch 5: Fixed the accidentally-dropped "windows_nt" case.
    - Patch 5: Introduce the JOBS variable right away so that there is
      less churn in the patch that introduces GitLab CI.
    - Patch 8: Moved `DEBIAN_FRONTEND` into the "linux-*" case to make
      clear that it shouldn't impact anything else.
    - Patch 8: Dropped the paragraph about GitLab CI not being a first
      class citizen based on Junio's feedback. This setup is going to be
      actively used (at least) by us at GitLab, and thus we're also
      going to maintain it.

After both Junio's and Victoria's feedback I've kept `.gitlab-ci.yml` in its canonical location.

The pipeline for this version can be found at [1].
Thanks for all the discussion and feedback so far!
Patrick
