Include a (trial) gitlab runner in omnibus
Since we're trying to create an out-of-the-box environment for making evaluation and testing of GitLab by anyone with the minimum effort, we're planning to introduce a list of "auto" features for CI/CD that doesn't require the user to be aware of what he needs in order to run pipelines. The overall idea is that users will have pipelines run by default without configuring anything more than installing omnibus.
One great improvement could be having a sort of built-in gitlab-runner in the default omnibus installation, that is suitable just to show basic CI/CD features and then can be abandoned once the real infrastructure is ready. Without this, the automatic default pipeline will be tried without any chance of success, and it would be useless.
We have to deal with some problems, for example which kind of executor we want to use, but it could be a real boost for CI/CD onboarding.
