epics-base/.ci submodule problem

[Andrew Johnson via Core-talk <core-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

    APS Jenkins seems to be unable to clone the epics-base repo (I'm not
    sure why that just succeeded on macOS, which is running exactly the
    same commands as the Linux agents) due to something in the .ci
    submodule.

    I'm guessing we may just need to commit a 'git add .ci; git commit'
    to the 7.0 branch to fix that but I'm not certain, can someone
    explain what happened to the ci submodule?
