Added as feature to our CI ideas.

This would be really easy to integrate as separate executor in a 
reworked Jenkins setup. It would be quite a lot of effort as 
separate project though.

As said in the 17th planning, that's up for January, then we 
might revisit this in Feb or so. Since benchmarks aren't that 
critical the slightly reduced reliability of a home server might 
suffice, performant servers are really cheap though.
