Taylor Braun-Jones requested to merge nocnokneo/gitlab-runner:feature/gitlab-runner-version-env-var into master Dec 16, 2017

What does this MR do?

Adds pre-defined environment variables:

CI_RUNNER_VERSION (like CI_SERVER_VERSION except for the runner that is executing the job)
CI_RUNNER_REVISION
CI_RUNNER_EXECUTABLE_ARCH

Why was this MR needed?

One example use case is for medical software where it's important to check that the version of the runner matches what was validated.
