Originally we wanted to have reproducible images by:
- pushing code change to gitlab (commit #1),
- building the FW images on gitlab,
- downloading & testing them,
- committing the images (commit #2).

Since we never used that, we can probably remove the
docker-edk2 CI job which already bitrotted...
