This setup uses transient VM to do isolation. Isolation is the goal,
transient VM are the way to do it.
On casulana it only can run qemu directly. On GCE it would just start a
VM on the platform.

A user will have the following ways to build it:
- Push into the cloud-team repo and the builder on casulana will pick it
up.
- Push into a private repo and the shared builder will pick it up. This
does not yet work due to a missing config option and tags on the
builders.
- Use "gitlab-runner exec docker --docker-privileged $job" to run it
from the checkout on her own Docker instance.
- Use "gitlab-runner exec shell $job" or "gitlab-runner exec ssh $job"
to do the same either on the local machine or another one.
- Use "make $job" to run it by hand from the working copy. We need to
rename stuff a bit for that.
All of that need documentation, including information how to setup a
capable runner. I'm currently trying to convince gitlab.com to change
their config a bit to make the build working without changes.
