Motivation

"CI status" for the develop branch is not really well-defined since we don't actually run any CI tasks on the develop branch. Bors runs them on staging, then merges to develop. If we set the status badge to develop, as it is now, it shows "no status." If we set it to staging, it'll show the status of the last bors run, which may have failed (and not been merged), which is misleading.

@noamnelke you were right, I concede :)

Haha, while it's fun to be right, I must admit that you also convinced me that there's value to the badge.

How about we host our own badge that says "CI: passing" that links to ci_and_bors.md where we explain our flow and why the badge always says "passing"?

Something like this:

CI: passing

The code for this is:

[![CI: passing](https://img.shields.io/badge/CI-passing-success?logo=github&style=flat)](https://github.com/spacemeshos/go-spacemesh/blob/develop/ci.md)

We can maybe link to a section in that doc like this:

You're lying! Your "CI: passing" badge is static and doesn't reflect the true status!

We make use of bors to ensure that commits that break any of our tests cannot get merged to develop. This is why our status is always passing - it's static, but it's not a lie!
