perf.haskell.org functional again

[Joachim Breitner]

Hi,

Is CircleCI the future now?

In general, yes. But it’s running fine for now, so I would not
prematurely throw it over.

My requirements are: 

 * needs to run on every commit (not just every push), including 
   branches.
 * needs to be able to push to a repository¹, so it needs access to 
   some secret token for depolyment.
   Alternatively, the CI could simply keep track of the build log
   and the perf.haskell.org dashboard scrapes it from there.
 * Occasionally, I find that I want to rebuild a fair number of commits
   that are already in the repository. So a good way to trigger
   rebuilds would be nice.

Greetings,
Joachim
