Enable GitLab CI

This tests that Tracker can be built from source using Autotools and
Meson, and that all of the unit tests run successfully.

There are various improvements that could be made:

  * Pre-create a Docker image with the build dependencies installed, so
    that we don't wait for `dnf` on every build.
  * Fix the functional tests and enable them for every build.
  * Fix the unit tests to not depend on Tracker being installed in the
    host
  * Remove the Autotools build system altogether and use Meson for
    everything \o/
