[Dune] Git repositories on gitlab.dune-project.org

[Steffen Müthing]

One more little thing:

If you are also using the local Heidelberg GitLab at conan2.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de, you should
definitely pick different color schemes for the two - I have really confused myself quite a bit with
those before, changing stuff on the wrong server...
