Re: [libvirt PATCH 2/2] gitlab: Enable improved ccache usage

Setting CC="ccache cc" works in most cases, but sometimes it will break the build: in particular, we have experienced issues in the past with that approach when using cgo to build our Go bindings. A more robust approach is to have a directory containing symlinks from the compiler name to the ccache binary: in that case, ccache itself will invoke the compiler, and the build system will be none the wiser. Since libvirt-jenkins-ci commit 2563aebb6c5c, container images contain a suitable symlink directory, so all that's needed to enable the new approach is to add this directory to $PATH. Since we're touching this anyway, we make a few more changes: $CCACHE_DIR is no longer created manually, because ccache will take care of creating it for us if it doesn't already exist; the

ccache setup is moved out of the job template and into script_variables, removing unnecessary duplication; a limit is set on the size of the cache (500 MB, which is twice the amount used by a fresh build on my Fedora 31 machine).
