gitlab: Setup gitlab-workhorse service
Gitlab-workhorse[1] is a service which offloads Ruby-on-Rails based GitLab from long-running and slow requests. It is written in Go. Now as we have unicorn service set up, we can setup gitlab-workhorse service (which uses unicorn as authentication backend). Gitlab-workhorse setup is easy - it is just one program and several command line options to point to unicorn socket and to configure on which unix socket gitlab-workhorse will listen itself. NOTE we have to care that git and ruby to be on PATH when running gitlab-workhorse - because on e.g. git push'ing workhorse will run `git receive-pack` and a hook will be called which calls gitlab-shell, which is written in ruby. NOTE2 promise to check whether gitlab-workhorse is alive is to ping it via URL to non-existent endpoint and check for proper 403 HTTP code returned.
