Add an executor for Docker on Windows Server 2016

+# GitLab Runner Custom Executor for Docker on Windows Server 2016
+
+## Overview
+
+This Python script allows GitLab CI jobs to be run inside Docker
+containers on Windows Server 2016, which is [not supported][1] by the
+native Docker executor included in GitLab Runner.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- [GitLab Runner][2]
+- [Docker][3]
+- [Python 3.6+][4]
+
+## Installation
+
+- Register a new GitLab CI runner using `gitlab-runner.exe register`,
+  specifying `custom` as the executor to use.
+
+- Adjust the relevant section of GitLab Runner's `config.toml` so
+  that the executor gets invoked properly:
+
+  ```toml
+  shell = "powershell"
+  [runners.custom]
+    config_exec = "C:\\path\\to\\python\\python.exe"
+    config_args = [ "C:\\path\\to\\windows-docker\\executor.py", "config" ]
+    prepare_exec = "C:\\path\\to\\python\\python.exe"
+    prepare_args = [ "C:\\path\\to\\windows-docker\\executor.py", "prepare" ]
+    run_exec = "C:\\path\\to\\python\\python.exe"
+    run_args = [ "C:\\path\\to\\windows-docker\\executor.py", "run" ]
+    cleanup_exec = "C:\\path\\to\\python\\python.exe"
+    cleanup_args = [ "C:\\path\\to\\windows-docker\\executor.py", "cleanup" ]
+  ```
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Docker images are *not* automatically pulled or updated to the latest
+  available version during job setup.  `docker pull` needs to be either
+  run manually or from the Windows Task Scheduler.
