The machine that is used to upload QEMU builds to Coverity is used daily
as a development machine by Emanuele and myself, and as a result sometimes
its podman/docker setup gets messed up. When this happens, Coverity
uploads might stop for extended periods of time.
In the interest of tightening this and of depending less on infrastructure
maintained by specific people, replace the manually-managed crontab
entry with a new job in GitLab's CI; this is also what Libvirt does.
The rules to trigger it are a bit different compared to other jobs:
* on mainline, it only runs as part of scheduled pipeline runs. Rules
are added to remove all other jobs when running from a scheduled pipeline.
* on forks, it is always manual (and only appears if QEMU_CI=1 or 2,
like other build jobs)
For now I implemented these rules directly in the buildtest.yml file,
but it is also possible to add a QEMU_JOB_SCHEDULE variable.
Example of a working run: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/6324308338
Example of a run that is over quota: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/6320681674
