Pull drm ci scripts from Dave Airlie:
 "This is a bunch of ci integration for the freedesktop gitlab instance
  where we currently do upstream userspace testing on diverse sets of
  GPU hardware. From my perspective I think it's an experiment worth
  going with and seeing how the benefits/noise playout keeping these
  files useful.

  Ideally I'd like to get this so we can do pre-merge testing on PRs
  eventually.

  Below is some info from danvet on why we've ended up making the
  decision and how we can roll it back if we decide it was a bad plan.

  Why in upstream?

   - like documentation, testcases, tools CI integration is one of these
     things where you can waste endless amounts of time if you
     accidentally have a version that doesn't match your source code

   - but also like the above, there's a balance, this is the initial cut
     of what we think makes sense to keep in sync vs out-of-tree,
     probably needs adjustment

   - gitlab supports out-of-repo gitlab integration and that's what's
     been used for the kernel in drm, but it results in per-driver
     fragmentation and lots of duplicated effort. the simple act of
     smashing an arbitrary winner into a topic branch already started
     surfacing patches on dri-devel and sparking good cross driver team
     discussions

  Why gitlab?

   - it's not any more shit than any of the other CI

   - drm userspace uses it extensively for everything in userspace, we
     have a lot of people and experience with this, including
     integration of hw testing labs

   - media userspace like gstreamer is also on gitlab.fd.o, and there's
     discussion to extend this to the media subsystem in some fashion

  Can this be shared?

   - there's definitely a pile of code that could move to scripts/ if
     other subsystem adopt ci integration in upstream kernel git. other
     bits are more drm/gpu specific like the igt-gpu-tests/tools
     integration

   - docker images can be run locally or in other CI runners

  Will we regret this?

   - it's all in one directory, intentionally, for easy deletion

   - probably 1-2 years in upstream to see whether this is worth it or a
     Big Mistake. that's roughly what it took to _really_ roll out solid
     CI in the bigger userspace projects we have on gitlab.fd.o like
     mesa3d"
