[Enhancement] Continuous integration testing with Travis CI / Docker

[mdeguzis]

I worked out how to run builds against 32-bit docker images run via Travis CI. This would be quite nice for CI testing among a few major distros. You can check out the starting files and CI builds below. Using the Travis CI build matrix, each distro job runs in parallel. Based on the distro env value, the linux build script adjusts accordingly (docker image, build script, deps, adjustments etc.).

• Travis CI configuration
• Travis build scripts
• Example build

Update 1: Added Fedora 32bit image to my docker hub and added it to the travis matrix.

Build status:

Debian Jessie: passes
Ubuntu Xenial: failing (grrrr)
Fedora 24: passes

Update: per the docker image for ubuntu I am using, the container is not 32 bit, which explains that. I will work on generating one to test with, or find an alternate.

Update2: found a an alternate docker image for i386 ubuntu

@mdeguzis links are still incorrect. develop is the proper branch but the links referencedevelop-master.

I was just wondering what the status was on the compiler. Does it still fail?
