CI: Makefile/Docker testing

To test the build on various distro, I'm using docker containers and a Makefile for orchestration.

pros:

• You are independent of third party CI runner config (e.g. github actions runners or Travis-CI VM images).
• You can run it locally on your linux system.
• Most CI provide runner with docker and Makefile installed (e.g. Travis-CI minimal images.

cons:

• Only GNU/Linux distro supported.
• Could take few GiB (~10 GiB for all distros)
  • ~500MiB OS + C++/CMake tools

Usage

To get the help simply type:

make

note: you can also use from top directory

make --directory=ci

Run

Then you can test the image using:

make <distro>_run
