    CI: Stop building QEMU in general
    
    We spend an awful lot of CI time building QEMU, even though most changes 
don't
    touch the subset of tools/libs/ used by QEMU.  Some numbers taken at a time
    when CI was otherwise quiet:
    
                           With     Without
      Alpine:              13m38s   6m04s
      Debian 12:           10m05s   8m10s
      OpenSUSE Tumbleweed: 11m40s   7m54s
      Ubuntu 24.04:        14m56s   8m06s
    
    which is a >50% improvement in wallclock time in some cases.
    
    The only build we have that needs QEMU is alpine-3.18-gcc-debug.  This is 
the
    build deployed and used by the QubesOS ADL-* and Zen3p-* jobs.
    
    Xilinx-x86_64 deploys it too, but is PVH-only and doesn't use QEMU.
    
    QEMU is also built by CirrusCI for FreeBSD (fully Clang/LLVM toolchain).
    
    This should help quite a lot with Gitlab CI capacity.
