gitlab: Enable improved ccache usage
Setting CC="ccache cc" works in most cases, but sometimes it will
break the build: in particular, we have experienced issues in the
past with that approach when using cgo to build our Go bindings.
A more robust approach is to have a directory containing symlinks
from the compiler name to the ccache binary: in that case, ccache
itself will invoke the compiler, and the build system will be none
the wiser.
Since libvirt-ci commit
2563aebb6c5c, container images contain a
suitable symlink directory, so all that's needed to enable the new
approach is to add this directory to $PATH.
Since we're touching this anyway, we make a few more changes:
$CCACHE_DIR is no longer created manually, because ccache will
take care of creating it for us if it doesn't already exist; the
ccache setup is moved out of the job template and into
script_variables, removing unnecessary duplication; a limit is
set on the size of the cache (500 MB, which is twice the amount
used by a fresh build on my Fedora 31 machine).
