These containers are ancient. Also, when we update ci-templates
they will no longer build (because then a different container hub
will be used, which doesn't contain those images). Drop them.
It fails to install the container. Disable it, until it is more
stable.

- the container that is also "pages_build" should always
run automatically. This can replace the "always" tag.
- comment out the "always: 33" part, because we no longer need
it. It was also wrong, because by now we should run Fedora 34
automatically.
- the python-black version on Fedora 33 was updated, and this formats
our python code differently. The black version that is used by our
gitlab-ci is the authoritative version that should be used. Update
it by regenerating the containers.
- especially Fedora:rawhide and Debian:sid often introduce changes that
will cause a break of our build. Update the containers to test latest
versions.
Alpine is especially interesting because it uses musl as libc.
The build does not yet succeed. There are several issues that
need to be fixed.
However, it will be simpler to fix things, if we have tests
in place -- even if at the moment they are known to be broken.

ci-templates builds and caches the test containers. When the build
scripts, the ci-template or "config.yml" changes, we need to bump
the tag so that the containers get rebuild.
Partly automate this. The tag now gets generated by the template and
contains a checksum of certain build files. Thus, if you change
any build files, then `ci-fairy generate-template` would generate a
different tag. You can not miss that, because we have tests that ensure
that our ".gitlab-ci.yml" is up to date. Also, you no longer need to
manually bump the tag when a build script changes, just regenerate
".gitlab-ci.yml" with `ci-fairy generate-template`.

On one image we do extra work, like generating documentation (gitlab-pages).
The same image is currently also used for the "checkpatch" step. That step
checks code formatting using clang-format. The formatting depends on the
clang version, and we currently choose Fedora 33 as the desired version
for formatting.
It means, the "checkpatch" step requires Fedora 33. We could choose a
different image for generating pages and run check patch. However, that
might not be best. Just also generate the pages using Fedora 33.
ci-templates encourages building specific containers that can be re-used:
- containers are re-used across pipelines, producing consistent results
- containers are re-used by contributors since they will use the upstream
containers for their MR, thus guaranteeing the same results.
Containers are automatically rebuild whenever the respective
FDO_DISTRIBUTION_TAG changes. This is particularly interesting now that
Docker Hub will introduce pull limits.
This CI script consists of a config file and a jinja2 template, simply
running 'ci-fairy generate-template' produces the .gitlab-ci.yml.
ci-fairy is part of the freedesktop.org ci-templates and can be pip
installed, see the check-ci-script job.
Functional changes to the previous script:
- new job: check-ci-script, verifies that our gitlab-ci.yml is the one
generated by the sources
- Added distributions:
- Fedora 33
- The actual work is now down by a set of scripts in .gitlab-ci/,
specifically:
- .gitlab-ci/build.sh is the previous do_build job
- .gitlab-ci/{fedora|debian}-install.sh are the previous {fedora|debian}_install jobs
symlinks are in place for centos and ubuntu
Why the scripts instead of steps in the CI? Easer to reading and
reproduce. With the containers being static, it's easy to pull one
locally and re-run the CI job to reproduce an issue. Having everything in a
single script makes that trivial.
