[eclipse-wakaamaGH-585] ci: Add initial gitlint usage

This is a fairly default configuration, which, among other stuff,
checks for the subject line being 72 or less characters as required by
the Eclipse project handbook.

Additional rules:
- Enforce at least 20 characters in the commit body
- Disallow the word "fixup" in the title messages. Intended to prevent
  accidents like d31d026.

Please note:
 - Using the gitlint-ignore tag in a commit message allows to suppress
   gitlint findings for a specific commit.
