[XEN PATCH v2 2/2] automation: avoid pipelines on specific branches

[Simone Ballarin <simone.ballarin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch avoids the execution of pipelines in the
following branches:
- master
- smoke
- coverirty-tested/.*
- stable-.*

The job-level exclusions have been removed as they are
pointless with this new workspace-level exclusion.

Signed-off-by: Simone Ballarin <simone.ballarin@xxxxxxxxxxx>

---
Changes in v2:
- remove useless except clause in .yocto-test.
