Re: GitLab CI runners for non-Linux systems

Thanks for this call for help, it's our chance to finally be serious
about supporting multiple platforms, instead of always fixing a
posteriori. Thanks to gitlab that shouldn't be too hard to setup.

I did a quick test on a macmini (macOS 10.13.4) we have in Collabora
office, and it's almost too easy to setup, not even a challenge!

Well... except that glib fails to build with meson because libffi
subproject does not support darwin. I'll try to investigate that.

I guess we should install Android NDK in a docker image, write the
proper meson cross file, and voilà. I'll give that a try this weekend.

Could also cross build in docker with mingw.
