The build-without-defaults and build-tci jobs do not capture any
artifacts, despite running 'make check'. This has proved a repeated
bug with CI jobs, so introduce a new '.meson_job_template' rule
which always captures 'build/meson-logs'. Jobs can still provide
their own 'artifacts:' config which will override this default
behaviour.
