I got blinky to successfully program using gitlab-runner and docker on my
desktop, I'll put it on the build server tomorrow.

Took a while to get all the required stuff working (nextpnr-xilinx and all that
fun stuff).

I realized that ssh wouldn't really work since the docker container wouldn't
have any ssh keys that were valid for the host, and I didn't really want it to
have any...I realize that could be worked around, but it sounds like a pain.

So instead, I wrote a python program that tunnels out of docker using a unix
socket, the daemon outside runs xc3sprog (as well as saves a copy of the last
.bit file, came in handy for testing). the unix socket can be put inside the
docker container by using the gitlab-runner config to set up a docker volume
that is just the unix socket file.

apparently xc3sprog wants its stdout/stderr to be a terminal, so I had to
figure that out too.

I want to move program-fpga.py to another repo so we have a centralized
location for it so we don't have a bunch of copies getting out of sync, does
utils.git sound good?
