Make it possible to access subject's console from QA specs instance

George Koltsov requested to merge feature/gb/use-docker-in-qa-testing-instance into master

Description

We use a separate docker container to run QA tests against an external container. But sometime it happens that we need to mimic admin's behavior, so we would also like to access an external terminal / console.

In order to do that in GitLab QA we choose to use docker exec from the QA container, so we need to expose docker.sock in case of a local workflow, or DOCKER_HOST in case of a docker-in-docker workflow.
