Currently it's not possible to select which runner will handle a pipeline
without changing the codebase.
Add KCI_CI_TAGS environment variable, which can be used to select a runner
either from a commit message, or directly from Gitlab interface.
If not set in any way, the project will pick the default runner.
Also add Documentation for this variable.

**KCI_CHECKPATCH_OPTIONS**
Used in `checkpatch.pl "$KCI_CHECKPATCH_OPTIONS"` (see checkpatch
documentation). It is commonly used with the --ignore flag to suppress
specific warnings generated by checkpatch.pl. It can also be defined in the
commit message, since it is evaluated in run time.
**KCI_PATCH_SERIES_SIZE**
Used to define the size of the patch series, see `job: checkpatch` section
above. It is evaluated in run time, and can be set in the commit message.
+**KCI_CI_TAGS**
+ Used to help choose which runner will deal with the current pipeline.
+ Make sure to use a runner with at least 16GB of RAM, as this is required

Triggering Pipelines from Command Line
--------------------------------------
Pipelines can be triggered from the command line with custom variables using the
`GitLab CLI tool <https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/editor_extensions/gitlab_cli>`_.
