A noble endeavour, thank you!

The rationale behind our docker image, is to be able to run our own CI
jobs, that runs in gitlab-CI. Since Docker hub now limits the number of
downloads permonth per image (on fre etier), the CI was very often
blocked from running at all, which was not super nice...

So, we pushed the image to the gitlab registry instead, since the image
raison-d'être was jsut to run in gitlab-CO to begin with.

So, you can get a hint at the actual location of the image, by looking
at out .gitlab-ci.yml file:
    image: $CI_REGISTRY/buildroot.org/buildroot/base:20220206.1756

$CI_REGISTRY is a gitlab-CI variable, that points to their registry. Its
value depends on project running the pipeline, and the gitlab-CI hosting
solution. Since we are using gitlab.com, the registry is
registry.gitlab.com. So you should be able to pull:
    registry.gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/base:20220206.1756

Yep. And since the images are not really meant for direct consumption,
we not longer push them to the dockerhub.

There had been an attempt at providing generic images of various
distributions, taht we wojuld have kinda advertised, but the effort
has stalled...
