This introduces three different parts of a job designed to run
on a custom runner managed by Red Hat. The goals include:
a) propose a model for other organizations that want to onboard
their own runners, with their specific platforms, build
configuration and tests.
b) bring awareness to the differences between upstream QEMU and the
version available under CentOS Stream, which is "A preview of
upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux minor and major releases".
c) because of b), it should be easier to identify and reduce the gap
between Red Hat's downstream and upstream QEMU.
The components of this custom job are:
I) OS build environment setup code:
- additions to the existing "build-environment.yml" playbook
that can be used to set up CentOS/EL 8 systems.
- a CentOS Stream 8 specific "build-environment.yml" playbook
that adds to the generic one.
II) QEMU build configuration: a script that will produce binaries with
features as similar as possible to the ones built and packaged on
CentOS stream 8.
III) Scripts that define the minimum amount of testing that the
binaries built with the given configuration (point II) under the
given OS build environment (point I) should be subjected to.
IV) Job definition: GitLab CI jobs that will dispatch the build/test
jobs (see points #II and #III) to the machine specifically
configured according to #I.

If a gitlab CI job is marked as manual-only but is not marked
as allow_failure, then gitlab considers that the pipeline is
"blocked" until the job has been manually triggered. We need
to mark these manual-only jobs as also allow_failure: true
so that gitlab doesn't insist that they have run before it
will consider the pipeline to be complete.

Currently we define a lot of jobs for our custom runners:
for both aarch64 and s390x we have
- all-linux-static
- all
- alldbg
- clang (manual)
- tci
- notcg (manual)
This is overkill. The main reason to run on these hosts is to get
coverage for the host architecture; we can leave the handling of
differences like debug vs non-debug to the x86 CI jobs.
The jobs are also generally running OK; they occasionally fail due to
timeouts, which is likely because we're overloading the machine by
asking it to run 4 CI jobs at once plus the ad-hoc CI.
Remove the 'allow_failure' tag from all these jobs, and switch the
s390x-alldbg, aarch64-all, s390x-tci and aarch64-tci jobs to manual.
(We keep -all on s390x and -alldbg on aarch64 just for diversity
of coverage.)
This will let us make the switch for s390x and aarch64 hosts from
the ad-hoc CI to gitlab.

The patch that recently introduced the S390X_RUNNER_AVAILABLE variable
in custom-runners.yml missed that the bottom half of the file is rather
about aarch64 than s390x. Thus rename the S390X_RUNNER_AVAILABLE to
AARCH64_RUNNER_AVAILABLE in those jobs.
Finally mention both variables in our CI documentation, too.

If maintainers are currently pushing to a branch called "staging"
in their repository, they are ending up with some stuck jobs - unless
they have a s390x CI runner machine available. That's ugly, we should
make sure that the related jobs are really only started if such a
runner is available. So let's only run these jobs if it's the
"staging" branch of the main repository of the QEMU project (where
we can be sure that the s390x runner is available), or if the user
explicitly set a S390X_RUNNER_AVAILABLE variable in their CI configs
to declare that they have such a runner available, too.

The QEMU project has two machines (aarch64 and s390x) that can be used
for jobs that do build and run tests. This introduces those jobs,
which are a mapping of custom scripts used for the same purpose.

As described in the included documentation, the "custom runner" jobs
extend the GitLab CI jobs already in place. One of their primary
goals of catching and preventing regressions on a wider number of host
systems than the ones provided by GitLab's shared runners.
This sets the stage in which other community members can add their own
machine configuration documentation/scripts, and accompanying job
definitions. As a general rule, those newly added contributed jobs
should run as "non-gating", until their reliability is verified (AKA
"allow_failure: true").
