deploy: resumable copies, and a runner drop-in that cannot starve the host

Deploys stalled at 1% whenever the runner was in the e2e suite: sixty
daemon instances on a VPS sized for one, with nothing holding the
build back, and a plain scp that threw the transfer away on a stall.

install.sh and make deploy-runner copy with rsync --partial --inplace
-z, so a stalled transfer resumes and the binary is compressed on the
wire; install.sh falls back to scp -C where the host has no rsync.

deploy/gitbay-runner.override.conf is a systemd drop-in with Nice=10,
CPUWeight=30 and IOWeight=30, installed by make deploy-runner under
gitbay-runner.service.d. The runner's unit itself was written by hand
on the host and is not in the repository; a drop-in fits whatever it
says.
