[PATCH 2/2] gitlab-ci: add whitespace error check

[Justin Tobler <jltobler@xxxxxxxxx>]

To check for whitespace errors introduced by a set of changes, there is
the `.github/workflows/check-whitespace.yml` GitHub action. This script
executes `git log --check` over a range containing the new commits and
parses the output to generate a markdown formatted artifact that
summarizes detected errors with GitHub links to the affected commits and
blobs.

Since this script is rather specific to GitHub actions, a more general
and simple `ci/check-whitespace.sh` is added instead that functions the
same, but does not generate the markdown file for the action summary.
>From this, a new GitLab CI job is added to support the whitespace error
check.

Note that the `$CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_SHA` variable is only
available in GitLab merge request pipelines and therefore the CI job is
configured to only run as part of those pipelines.
