gitlab: misc artifact / log handling fixes

[PATCH 4/4] gitlab: prevent duplicated meson log artifacts in test jobs

Posted by Daniel P. Berrangé 1 day, 6 hours ago

The build jobs will populate build/meson-logs/ with various files
that are added as artifacts.

The test jobs preserve the state of the build jobs, so we must
delete any pre-existing logs to prevent confusion from duplicate
artifacts.

Will this cause us to rebuild needlessly?

These files aren't involved in any rebuild / stale checks &
the test pipeline I ran show no difference in what was done.
