[PATCH v2 0/3] gitlab-ci: Add jobs to build the EDK2 firmware binaries

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

We provide the EDK2 firmware binaries in pc-bios/. When we
update the roms/edk2/ submodule, we need to rebuild the
firmware binaries.
To avoid the burden on a single developer, this series add
a GitLab job to generate reproducible EDK2 firmware binaries.

The job is only on specific conditions:
- roms/edk2/ is updated
- or the branch or tag start with 'edk2'
- or 'edk2' appears in last commit description

We won't use ccache to build the EDK2 firmwares, but the patch
was ready/tested so I'm including it.

The proposed procedure to update the EDK2 submodule is:

- add a commit to update roms/edk2/ submodule
- push to gitlab
- download generated artifacts (only available if job succeed)
- unzip the firmware binaries from the artifacts archive
- test the binaries
- add a commit with the binaries, referencing the ci job url.

Example of pipeline that built the edk2-stable201905 firmwares:
https://gitlab.com/philmd/qemu/pipelines/107553178
(the job is https://gitlab.com/philmd/qemu/-/jobs/395823729)

The first patch is already reviewed, but is a prerequisite to
use the Ubuntu docker image to build, so I included it.

Since v1 [*]
- split in 2 jobs: build docker image, build firmwares
  (this way we build the docker image once for all the
   subsequent jobs)
- addressed Laszlo comment (minor the 'git-submodule-update)

Regards,

Phil.
