Package Promotion

Package promotion functionality will be useful for release-tool automation of security releases. Some explanation of required fields and the workflow of the request can be found here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/issues/1788#note_21741576

This MR is based on https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/packagecloud-ruby/merge_requests/2

Example how to use package promotion:

require 'packagecloud'

credentials = Packagecloud::Credentials.new('username', 'token')
connection = Packagecloud::Connection.new('https', 'packages.gitlab.com')
client = Packagecloud::Client.new(credentials, "packagecloud-ruby #{Packagecloud::VERSION}", connection)
client.create_repository('super-secret-repo', true) # true means private = true

# publish your package on your 'super-secret-repo' and when you are ready to release:
client.promote_package('super-secret-repo', 'ubuntu', 'xenial', 'gitlab-ce_8.15.5-ce.0_amd64.deb', 'super-public-repo')

I'm breaking ruby 1.8.7 compatibility as we are using URI.encode_www_form. I've crafted a quick alternative for 1.8.7 but I don't want to support it, so I will let it here for future reference:

      def encode_www_form(data={})
        if URI.respond_to? :encode_www_form
          return URI.encode_www_form(data)
        end

        fields=[]
        data.each {|k,v| fields << "#{CGI.escape(k)}=#{CGI.escape(v)}" }
        fields.join('&')
      end

On the few scenarios I tried, it worked just fine, but this kind of standard probably have a lot of caveats I'm not aware of.
