Franz Pletz d8fd06641a gitlab module: split up gitlab-runner script
The name gitlab-runner clashes with a component of Gitlab CI with the
same name and only confuses people. It's now called gitlab-bundle and
a convenience-script gitlab-rake for easier invocation of rake tasks
was added. This was the primary use case of gitlab-runner.

a reasonably secure system without having to sacrifice too much
functionality. See <xref linkend="sec-grsecurity" /> for documentation
