[FEATURE] make all config.toml options available on the cli

To enable integration with config management applications such as puppet or chef all options should be available from the cli when creating runners. Currently I need to register and write an integration for that then another integration that finds that runner in the config.toml file and edits it. Actually creating an gitlab-runner edit command would be handy.

All the option I am talking about: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci-multi-runner/blob/master/docs/configuration/advanced-configuration.md

Or the other way around: provide a way to register a new runner using information specified in config.toml

Well, since waiting for this to be implemented would be too long, I try this workaround and it seems to work:

import requests

resp = requests.post('http://gitlab-ci/api/v1/runners/register.json', json=dict(token='REGISTER_TOKEN', description='my-runner'))
print resp.json()['token'] # => 5db9863274df2b04e929e60f19d7eb

Once I get the token, I can do the rest in Ansible without relying on gitlab-ci-multi-runner to generate the config file.

@iwinux it's already done on master, register accepts all options that are present in config.toml. The same applies for run-single. I will be happy if you could check if it resolves your problem.

Milestone changed to v0.6.0
