Dockerized Swift, Build Times and Other Notes Regarding CI

Hi Tom/Max,

I've made a dockerized Swift build using the build_bot preset for Ubuntu
14/15 and Fedora: https://github.com/eosrei/docker-swift-dev-buildbot and
Docker Hub The three containers
could be used right now for CI.

There is some work on a "preheated" container:
https://github.com/eosrei/docker-swift-dev-buildbot/blob/master/14.04/prebuilt/Dockerfile
The Docker Hub for that container is currently private.

This is great! On that note I think I will change the swiftdocker/swift-dev container to offer just a development dependency environment, in favour of the work you’re doing there for prebuilt stuff, and I’ll make a repo building off of what you’ve done there with different environments for a quick start experience for development with scripts and compose.

Thanks! The non-prebuilts work well. It took a while for me to work out the
details.

The 14.04 prebuilt container is having some issues which is why it's still
private on Hub. I can make it public or add you to it. I must be missing
something in mimicking the buildbot_linux preset minus tests, because it
ends up doing a full build. Testing is frustrating due to the consistent
Swift project build failures. So, I have to make sure the current checkout
works, then build the prebuilt, then test it; which ends up taking about
5-6hrs. It's actually why I haven't looked at it in a few days. I hope this
project gets pre-merge CI enabled ASAP.
