Enable GitLab CIsam/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/
