[LTP] [PATCH v4 0/4] Support for Patchwork CI

[Andrea Cervesato]

Add support for patch-series validation in the patchwork ML.
We use Github to schedule a trigger every 30 minutes, checking for new
patche-series in parchwork which has not been tested yet.

The way we decide if a patch-series has been tested in patchwork, is
by looking at its status (in particular, if it's "Needs Review / ACK"),
as well as checking if test report has been uploaded to any of the
series patches.

All communication to Patchwrok is done via REST API, using curl and js
tools.

First, we create a script called patchwork-ci.sh that provides all the
commands to read new untested patch-series, set their status and testing
report. Then, we create a scheduled workflow in Gitlab, checking every
30 minutes if there are new untested patch-series. At the end, we
trigger the main build workflow, used to validate LTP commits in our
Github mainline. All the times we trigger the build workflow, we also
provide the patch-series ID, that will be fetched and applied on the
current branch before running the tests.

Changes in v4:
- make use of secrets to apply patches in order to set state to
  needs-review-ack
- check for curl failures and eventually exit 1

  the string before sending checks context
