    CI: make test-artifacts repo/branch/job customizable
    
    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.
