Ease use of the container environment that may be used to run
tests from this project by adding a `scripts/ci_shell` script
to invoke `kas-container` for you. The script uses the existing
kas/isar.yml kas file to use your existing checkout of the Isar
code: this makes it easier to test your work-in-progress changes.

Lastly, `ci_setup.sh` will produce less output (e.g. when
installing dependencies) and will print a few hints to remind
users with useful commands.

Changes since v2:
 - drop redundant kas/ci-shell.yml since identical to the
   existing kas/isar.yml file

Changes since v1:
 - use a temporary KAS_BUILD_DIR for the build container since we are
   not using kas for building test cases but only as a runtime
   environment. By that, the build folder created by kas does not
   conflict with the folder created by avocado builds.

Future work:
 - Provide a Containerfile to build a container image with package
   dependencies pre-installed (as suggested by Jan Kiszka).
