Some documentation has been added to the wiki detailing how to set this up
I'll be adding more information there.

I have a provisioned box with the latest version of lava - however there
are problems with authentication that I'm currently investigating.

Once that is working I expect to look at how to attach health check
results to LAVA notifications
https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-testing/testing/issues/118

and then consider the issues involved in allowing users who are not the
original tester to import those results into their own B at D instance.

We will also need to investigate how tests and be signed and how LAVA
will verify those signatures.
