Move out-of-tree workspace back to $CI_PROJECT_DIR

Out-of-tree build & test jobs currently defined in GitLab CI use
/tmp/out_of_tree_workspace as the working directory.  This requires
juggling that directory around as it gets passed from the build job to
the test jobs and then again after the test jobs are finished, so that
artifacts can be collected for the purpose of investigating test
failures.  The original intention of doing this was to ensure that
bin/tests/system/run.sh does not rely on being executed from within a
Git working copy (which happens e.g. if the out-of-tree workspace is a
subdirectory of $CI_PROJECT_DIR, i.e. the path into which GitLab
Runner clones the project in each job).

However, even with these complications in place, not all possible
scenarios that should be handled properly by the system test framework
(e.g. invoking a given test one time after another from the same
out-of-tree build directory) are tested in GitLab CI anyway.  Meanwhile,
the requirement for moving the out-of-tree workspace into
$CI_PROJECT_DIR in the 'after_script' for each out-of-tree job makes
these jobs less robust than they could be; for example, if any step in
the 'after_script' returns a non-zero exit code, the job's artifacts
will not include the out-of-tree workspace, hindering troubleshooting.

Simplify job definitions in .gitlab-ci.yml by moving the workspace used
by out-of-tree build & test jobs back to a subdirectory of
$CI_PROJECT_DIR.  Whether the out-of-tree workspace exists within a Git
working copy or not does not matter for Autotools, so this is considered
to be a reasonable trade-off in terms of test coverage.
