This commit tweaks the debian packaging tool:
* All build environment metadata can now be overriden on the command
line. This allows testing the CI build behaviour locally.
* -unstable packages now actually contain the binaries (oops)
* packages use Go 1.7 to build
* archiving is skipped for PR builds

TravisCI and AppVeyor run the tests in very slow VMs.
Some of our tests can't cope with that. Running less tests
in parallel should make them somewhat less flakey.
(cherry picked from commit b0a6b979a3f12e91cfbc89850bfaa00c46653e85)
The new build script, ci.go, replaces some of the older shell scripts.
ci.go can compile go-ethereum, run the tests, create release archives
and debian source packages.

This version is less clever. All names are listed in a single file,
AUTHORS. All source files have the same header. This is an improvement
over the previous version, which attempted to list copyright holders in
each source file.
Many people need or want to build go-ethereum from the git repository,
mostly to stay up to date with recent changes. We cannot expect that
people without Go experience grok the Go workspace concept.
With the Makefile, building from github requires only
three steps (provided that a Go toolchain is installed):
- git clone https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum
- ... install C libraries (libgmp, etc.) ...
- make
