ef63f5fc1136ad2a2cd080d44142a2ee3945c238 ci: Combine 32-bit build with CentOS 7 build (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  Combines the CentOS build with the 32-bit (i686) build to avoid Travis bottlenecks, as suggested in #17757 by MarcoFalke. This keeps most of the properties of the 32-bit build (dash as config shell, building QT5 GUI) and just builds it with depends inside the CentOS docker container.

  Making the depends in `05_before_script.sh` with unset config shell (`CONFIG_SHELL=`)

  6196e93001/ci/test/05_before_script.sh (L28)

  caused problems for building the library libevent (resulting in a Makefile with no shell set (`SHELL=`)), that's why I set it explicitely to `/bin/bash` if we have a CentOS Docker container.

  A Travis output of this 32-bit CentOS build can be seen here: https://travis-ci.org/theStack/bitcoin/jobs/634472394 (has been restarted once due to too long build time and appearance of the `CACHE_ERR_MSG`).

  For anyone wanting to verify the outputs, I found these instructions useful to reproduce a Travis build locally: https://github.com/erdc/proteus/wiki/Replicating-the-TravisCI-Environment-on-your-Local-Machine (steps 1-3). In this case it's a bit tricky since you run Docker inside Docker -- within the Travis Docker container, the CentOS Docker container is created. To make this possible, the Docker socket has to be exposed to the Travis container via bind-mounting (`docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ...`), as suggested in https://stackoverflow.com/a/33003273.

ci scripts

This directory contains scripts for each build step in each build stage.

Currently three stages lint, extended_lint and test are defined. Each stage has its own lifecycle, similar to the Travis CI lifecycle. Every script in here is named and numbered according to which stage and lifecycle step it belongs to.

Running a stage locally

Be aware that the tests will be built and run in-place, so please run at your own risk. If the repository is not a fresh git clone, you might have to clean files from previous builds or test runs first.

The ci needs to perform various sysadmin tasks such as installing packages or writing to the user's home directory. While most of the actions are done inside a docker container, this is not possible for all. Thus, cache directories, such as the depends cache or ccache, are mounted as read-write into the docker container. While it should be fine to run the ci system locally on you development box, the ci scripts can generally be assumed to have received less review and testing compared to other parts of the codebase. If you want to keep the work tree clean, you might want to run the ci system in a virtual machine with a Linux operating system of your choice.

To allow for a wide range of tested environments, but also ensure reproducibility to some extent, the test stage requires docker to be installed. To install all requirements on Ubuntu, run

sudo apt install docker.io bash

To run the default test stage,

./ci/test_run_all.sh

To run the test stage with a specific configuration,

FILE_ENV="./ci/test/00_setup_env_arm.sh" ./ci/test_run_all.sh
