Kamil Trzciński 677e7e837e Merge branch 'seed-runner-token' into 'master'
Allow users to seed the initial runner registration token using an environment variable

## What does this MR do?
Allow users to seed the initial runner registration token using an environment variable

## Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?

- Naming, do we want to make sure we are clear it's the 'registration' token. Like GITLAB_RUNNER_REGISTRATION_TOKEN vs what I have now, GITLAB_RUNNER_TOKEN
- Not sure we've tested a seed fixture before, I just made up a directory structure for the test

## Why was this MR needed?

At the moment I want to use this in our idea to production demo:  https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/22190

This is useful for when runner is bundled with gitlab, like in a kubernetes stack, and we want the runner to be able to register with gitlab as soon as they both come up.
