Ever since we started using Travis CI, we specified the list of
packages to install in '.travis.yml' via the APT addon. While running
our builds on Travis CI's container-based infrastructure we didn't
have another choice, because that environment didn't support 'sudo',
and thus we didn't have permission to install packages ourselves. With
the switch to the VM-based infrastructure in the previous patch we do
get a working 'sudo', so we can install packages by running 'sudo
apt-get -y install ...' as well.
Let's make use of this and install necessary packages in
'ci/install-dependencies.sh', so all the dependencies (i.e. both
packages and "non-packages" (P4 and Git-LFS)) are handled in the same
file. Install gcc-8 only in the 'linux-gcc' build job; so far it has
been unnecessarily installed in the 'linux-clang' build job as well.
Print the versions of P4 and Git-LFS conditionally, i.e. only when
they have been installed; with this change even the static analysis
and documentation build jobs start using 'ci/install-dependencies.sh'
to install packages, and neither of these two build jobs depend on and
thus install those.
This change will presumably be beneficial for the upcoming Azure
Pipelines integration [1]: preliminary versions of that patch series
run a couple of 'apt-get' commands to install the necessary packages
before running 'ci/install-dependencies.sh', but with this patch it
will be sufficient to run only 'ci/install-dependencies.sh'.

Commit 657343a60 (travis-ci: move Travis CI code into dedicated
scripts, 2017-09-10) converted '.travis.yml's default 'before_install'
scriptlet to the 'ci/install-dependencies.sh' script, and while doing
so moved setting GIT_TEST_HTTPD=YesPlease for the 64-bit GCC and Clang
Linux build jobs to that script. This is wrong for two reasons:
- The purpose of that script is, as its name suggests, to install
dependencies, not to set any environment variables influencing
which tests should be run (though, arguably, this was already an
issue with the original 'before_install' scriptlet).
- Setting the variable has no effect anymore, because that script is
run in a separate shell process, and the variable won't be visible
in any of the other scripts, notably in 'ci/run-tests.sh'
responsible for, well, running the tests.
Luckily, this didn't have a negative effect on our Travis CI build
jobs, because GIT_TEST_HTTPD is a tri-state variable defaulting to
"auto" and a functioning web server was installed in those Linux build
jobs, so the httpd tests were run anyway.
Apparently the httpd tests run just fine without GIT_TEST_HTTPD being
set, therefore we could simply remove this environment variable.
However, if a bug were to creep in to change the Travis CI build
environment to run the tests as root or to not install Apache, then
the httpd tests would be skipped and the build job would still
succeed. We would only notice if someone actually were to look
through the build job's trace log; but who would look at the trace log
of a successful build job?!
Since httpd tests are important, we do want to run them and we want to
be loudly reminded if they can't be run. Therefore, move setting
GIT_TEST_HTTPD=YesPlease for the 64-bit GCC and Clang Linux build jobs
to 'ci/lib-travisci.sh' to ensure that the build job fails when the
httpd tests can't be run. (We could set it in 'ci/run-tests.sh' just
as well, but it's better to keep all environment variables in one
place in 'ci/lib-travisci.sh'.)

A couple of 'ci/*' scripts are shared between different build jobs:
'ci/lib-travisci.sh', being a common library, is sourced from almost
every script, while 'ci/install-dependencies.sh', 'ci/run-build.sh'
and 'ci/run-tests.sh' are shared between the "regular" GCC and Clang
Linux and OSX build jobs, and the latter two scripts are used in the
GETTEXT_POISON Linux build job as well.
Our builds could benefit from these shared scripts being able to
easily tell which build job they are taking part in. Now, it's
already quite easy to tell apart Linux vs OSX and GCC vs Clang build
jobs, but it gets trickier with all the additional Linux-based build
jobs included explicitly in the build matrix.
Unfortunately, Travis CI doesn't provide much help in this regard.
The closest we've got is the $TRAVIS_JOB_NUMBER variable, the value of
which is two dot-separated integers, where the second integer
indicates a particular build job. While it would be possible to use
that second number to identify the build job in our shared scripts, it
doesn't seem like a good idea to rely on that:
- Though the build job numbering sequence seems to be stable so far,
Travis CI's documentation doesn't explicitly states that it is
indeed stable and will remain so in the future. And even if it
were stable,
- if we were to remove or insert a build job in the middle, then the
job numbers of all subsequent build jobs would change accordingly.
So roll our own means of simple build job identification and introduce
the $jobname environment variable in our builds, setting it in the
environments of the explicitly included jobs in '.travis.yml', while
constructing one in 'ci/lib-travisci.sh' as the combination of the OS
and compiler name for the GCC and Clang Linux and OSX build jobs. Use
$jobname instead of $TRAVIS_OS_NAME in scripts taking different
actions based on the OS and build job (when installing P4 and Git LFS
dependencies and including them in $PATH). The following two patches
will also rely on $jobname.

Linux build jobs on Travis CI skip the P4 and Git LFS tests since
commit 657343a60 (travis-ci: move Travis CI code into dedicated
scripts, 2017-09-10), claiming there are no P4 or Git LFS installed.
The reason is that P4 and Git LFS binaries are not installed to a
directory in the default $PATH, but their directories are prepended to
$PATH. This worked just fine before said commit, because $PATH was
set in a scriptlet embedded in our '.travis.yml', thus its new value
was visible during the rest of the build job. However, after these
embedded scriptlets were moved into dedicated scripts executed in
separate shell processes, any variable set in one of those scripts is
only visible in that single script but not in any of the others. In
this case, 'ci/install-dependencies.sh' downloads P4 and Git LFS and
modifies $PATH, but to no effect, because 'ci/run-tests.sh' only sees
Travis CI's default $PATH.
Move adjusting $PATH to 'ci/lib-travisci.sh', which is sourced in all
other 'ci/' scripts, so all those scripts will see the updated $PATH
value.

Most of the Travis CI commands are in the '.travis.yml'. The yml format
does not support functions and therefore code duplication is necessary
to run commands across all builds.
To fix this, add a library for common CI functions. Move all Travis CI
code into dedicated scripts and make them call the library first.
