New board: SolidRun ClearFog Base
My goal was to rely on upstreamed features as much as possible, which
means that some bits are only half-baked for now:
- Due to the DTS restructuring in upstream kernel, we require 4.11+. The
latest LTS or CIP kernels do not know about the -Base model.
- Linux has no generic support for SFP cages (yet). It seems that this
has hit the net-next tree in August 2017, but there's been no release
(it's probably targettting 4.14). Also, the merge only included the
required infrastructure; the mvneta driver conversion is not included.
Patches which finalize this exist in Russel King's tree and also in
random vendor trees.
- There's no access to the SPI flash in these versions of
uboot/linux/dts.

[Arnout:
- rename to solidrun_clearfog_defconfig;
- specify kernel headers version (default is now 4.15);
- remove ext2 fs size override, the 4 extra MB are not needed;
- U-Boot needs dtc and openssl;
- add comments to defconfig;
- update .gitlab-ci.yml;
- mention in readme.txt that SFP support is missing;
- add Jan to DEVELOPERS.
