Simone Gotti d2b09d854f *: use new errors handling library
Implement a new error handling library based on pkg/errors. It provides
stack saving on wrapping and exports some function to add stack saving
also to external errors.
It also implements custom zerolog error formatting without adding too
much verbosity by just printing the chain error file:line without a full
stack trace of every error.

* Add a --detailed-errors options to print error with they full chain
* Wrap all error returns. Use errors.WithStack to wrap without adding a
  new messsage and error.Wrap[f] to add a message.
* Add golangci-lint wrapcheck to check that external packages errors are
  wrapped. This won't check that internal packages error are wrapped.
  But we want also to ensure this case so we'll have to find something
  else to check also these.

### Local development
#### Start the web interface
- Clone the [agola-web repository](https://github.com/agola-io/agola-web)
For the first time you'll need the `vue cli` and its services installed as global modules:
```
npm install -g @vue/cli @vue/cli-service-global
```
Inside the `agola-web` repository run:
```
npm install
npm run serve
```
### Build the agola binary
To build agola we usually test and support the latest two major versions of Go like in the [Go release policy](https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#policy).
```
make
```
### Start the agola server
- Copy the `example/config.yml` where you prefer
```
./bin/agola serve --embedded-etcd --config /path/to/your/config.yml --components all-base,executor
```
or use an external etcd (set it in the config.yml):
```
./bin/agola serve --config /path/to/your/config.yml --components all-base,executor
```
### Error handling
Use the `--detailed-errors` option to easily follow the errors chain.
When developing you should wrap every error using `errors.Wrap[f]` or `errors.WithStack`. The ci uses `golangci-lint` with the `wrapcheck` linter enabled to check if some errors aren't wrapped.
