[Buildroot] [PATCH 00/10] gitlab-ci: handle all conditional jobs in the generating script (branch yem/gitlab-ci-cond)

Hello Yann,

On one hand, it's a pity to workaround the gitlab-ci Yaml and not take the
opportunity to practice this specific language...
But on the other hand the language is not still stable over the time (see the
only/except keyword deprecation we used until recently).
Also the generate-gitlab-ci-yml after this series doesn't seem too complex :)

Maybe we can complete the manual about defconfigs testing in gitlab.
runtime-tests in gitlab is already described in the manual.

Best regards,
Romain
