ci: Add continuous integration for github repositories via cirrus-ci.

Currently FreeBSD, Linux, macOS and Windows (Visual Studio) are tested.

The main goal of this integration is to make it easier to test in-development
patches across multiple platforms. This includes improving the testing done
automatically by cfbot [1] for commitfest entries.  It is *not* the goal to
supersede the buildfarm.

cirrus-ci [2] was chosen because it was already in use for cfbot, allows using
full VMs, has good OS coverage and allows accessing the full test results
without authentication (like a github account).  It might be worth adding
support for further CI providers, particularly ones supporting other git
forges, in the future.

To keep CI times tolerable, most platforms use pre-generated images. Some
platforms use containers, others use full VMs.

For instructions on how to enable the CI integration in a repository and
further details, see src/tools/ci/README
