    Merge branch 'ci/build_dependencies' into 'master' · c19795df
    Douwe Maan authored
    Let the CI runner know about builds that this build depends on
    
    This allows us to implement artifacts passing: runner will download artifacts from all prior builds. It will happen automatically, and always, as long as artifacts are enabled.
    
    ## The changes:
    
    This MR exposes list of prior builds in CI::API::Builds.
    
    **The API response when asking for builds**

    ## How it will work?
    
    **Example:**
    ```
    build:
      type: build
      script:
      - echo TEST > test_file
      artifacts:
        untracked: true
    
    rspec:
      type: test
      script:
      - test-my-project
    
    staging:
      type: deploy
      script:
      - scp test_file root@server.com:
    ```
    
    **The flow:**
    1. We run `build`. The `build` creates a file `test_file`. This file gets archived and send us build artifacts.
    2. We run `rspec`. The `rspec` downloads build artifacts from `build`. Uses the `test_file`.
    3. We run `staging`. The `staging` downloads build artifacts from `build` and `rspec`, but since the `rspec` doesn't have build artifacts we skip that build. Deploys the `test_file`.
    
    This partially implements the https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/3423.
    
    In the next release we will introduce option to configure what artifacts are received.
