Radicle CI

Radicle CI add continuous integration (CI) support on top of Radicle. There are several components:

• The CI broker receives change events from the Radicle node and triggers CI to run based on its configuration.

• An adapter is invoked by the CI broker to use a CI system to run CI for a specific change. There are several adapters, each for a different type of CI system.

• A rad-ci extension for the Radicle rad command emulates a CI run by running it locally. This avoids having to wait for a CI node ("server") to have free resources.
