[PATCH v2 2/6] CI: make test-artifacts repo/branch/job customizable

[Marek Marczykowski-Górecki <marmarek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Allow choosing which artifacts branch and job to use for Linux. This
allows running the same tests for different Linux versions, without
duplicating a lot of yaml sections.

Similarly, make the repo path itself configurable too. The main purpose
is to ensure the test pipeline triggered from any repo will fetch linux
artifact from the right repo. But with a minor change of using that
variable for rootfs and microcode artifacts too, it allows testing
test-artifacts repo changes without needing to modify gitlab-ci.yml in
xen.git at all.

I have considered common LINUX_JOB and then add architecture suffix, but
even now X86 and ARM use different jobs, so I made them separate.

Changes in v2:
- make repo path configurable too
- rename LINUX_ARTIFACTS_BRANCH to ARTIFACTS_BRANCH
