Maintaining two sets of containers for test building is silly. While

fat containers built by lcitool we might as well merge the other
random debian based compilers into the same one used on gitlab.

On the GitLab side we're invoking the Cirrus CI job using the
cirrus-run tool which speaks to the Cirrus REST API. Cirrus
sometimes tasks 5-10 minutes to actually schedule the task,
and thus the execution time of 'cirrus-run' inside GitLab will
be slightly longer than the execution time of the Cirrus CI
task.

Setting the timeout in the GitLab CI job should thus be done
in relation to the timeout set for the Cirrus CI job. While
Cirrus CI defaults to 60 minutes, it is better to set this
explicitly, and make the relationship between the jobs

gitlab: enable ccache for many build jobs

The `ccache` tool can be very effective at reducing compilation times
when re-running pipelines with only minor changes each time. For example
a fresh 'build-system-fedora' job will typically take 20 minutes on the
gitlab.com shared runners. With ccache this is reduced to as little as
6 minutes.

Normally meson would auto-detect existance of ccache in $PATH and use
it automatically, but the way we wrap meson from configure breaks this,
as we're passing in an config file with explicitly set compiler paths.
Thus we need to add $CCACHE_WRAPPERSPATH to the front of $PATH. For
unknown reasons if doing this in msys though, gcc becomes unable to
invoke 'cc1' when run from meson. For msys we thus set CC='ccache gcc'
before invoking 'configure' instead.

A second problem with msys is that cache misses are incredibly
expensive, so enabling ccache massively slows down the build when
the cache isn't well populated. This is suspected to be a result of
the cost of spawning processes under the msys architecture. To deal
with this we set CCACHE_DEPEND=1 which enables ccache's 'depend_only'
strategy. This avoids extra spawning of the pre-processor during
cache misses, with the downside that is it less likely ccache will
find a cache hit after semantically benign compiler flag changes.
This is the lesser of two evils, as otherwise we can't use ccache
at all under msys and remain inside the job time limit.

If people are finding ccache to hurt their pipelines, it can be
disabled by setting the 'CCACHE_DISABLE=1' env variable against
their gitlab fork CI settings.

Revert "tests: Use separate virtual environment for avocado"

This reverts commit e8e4298feadae7924cf7600bb3bcc5b0a8d7cbe9.

ensuregroup allows to specify both the acceptable versions of avocado,
and a locked version to be used when avocado is not installed as a system
pacakge. This lets us install avocado in pyvenv/ using "mkvenv.py" and
reuse the distro package on Fedora and CentOS Stream (the only distros
where it's available).

ensuregroup's usage of "(>=..., <=...)" constraints when evaluating
the distro package, and "==" constraints when installing it from PyPI,
makes it possible to avoid conflicts between the known-good version and
a package plugins included in the distro.

This is because package plugins have "==" constraints on the version
that is included in the distro, and, using "pip install avocado==88.1"
on a venv that includes system packages will result in an error:

avocado-framework-plugin-varianter-yaml-to-mux 98.0 requires avocado-framework==98.0, but you have avocado-framework 88.1 which is incompatible.
avocado-framework-plugin-result-html 98.0 requires avocado-framework==98.0, but you have avocado-framework 88.1 which is incompatible.

But at the same time, if the venv does not include a system distribution
of avocado then we can install a known-good version and stick to LTS
releases.

gitlab: always use updated msys installer

We current reference an msys installer binary from mid-2022, which means
after installation, it immediately has to re-download a bunch of newer
content. This wastes precious CI time.

The msys project publishes an installer binary with a fixed URL that
always references the latest content. We cache the downloads in gitlab
though and so once downloaded we would never re-fetch the installer
leading back to the same problem.

To deal with this we also fetch the pgp signature for the installer
on every run, and compare that to the previously cached signature. If
the signature changes, we re-download the full installer.

This ensures we always have the latest installer for msys, while also
maximising use of the gitlab cache.
