Upstream gitian updates

This PR pulls in all gitian-related PRs that have been merged upstream since 0.11.2. The only ones I left out were documentation-only PRs, because we removed `doc/gitian-building.md` at some point. Here are the commits applied here, in the order shown in `git log` (ie. last to first):
