Make CI information available to scripts in standard CI

Description

Right now scripts running in standard-CI have no information about the environment they are running in. This is by design, because the scripts are supposed to behave the same if they are running locally or on a Jenkins slave.

But there are cases where letting the script know it is running in CI is useful. For example - to make it use the package mirrors in the CI system instead of getting packages over the internet.

It seems that essentially all the information that is passed to 'mock_runner.sh' on the command line should be made available to the automation script as environment variables. Additionally, information from Gerrit would probably also be useful.

The feature described in required the functionality described in this ticket.

More specifically it defines a requirement for the following information provided as environment variables:

  1. STD_CI_STAGE: Will contain the name of the Standard-CI stage, e.g. “{{build-artifacts}}”.

  2. STD_CI_DISTRO: Will contain the distribution version identifier (e.g “el7” or “fc25”) of the Standard-CI runtime.

  3. STD_CI_YUMREPOS: Will point to an existing “{{*.yumrepos}}” file that most closely matches the current running stage and distribution
