[pkg-go] GitLab CI: git-buildpackage and ratt

[Michael Stapelberg]

The tool to configure our repositories now lives at
https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-go-team/ci/blob/master/cmd/ci/ci.go.

I’ll run this tomorrow unless there are any objections.
For the time being, the tool only touches the runner configuration and CI
config path.
In other words, I will not yet place a debian/gitlab-ci.yml file in each
repository, so that we have some more time to gather feedback.
