In the discussion about renaming the `tests/acceptance` [1], the
conclusion was that the folders inside `tests` are related to the
framework running the tests and not directly related to the type of
the tests.
This changes the folder to `tests/avocado` and adjusts the MAKEFILE, the
CI related files and the documentation.

Jobs depending on another should not use the 'when: always'
condition, because if a dependency failed we should not keep
running jobs depending on it. The correct condition is
'when: on_success'.

Due to a design problem and misunderstanding between the Avocado
framework and QEMU, Avocado is fetching many asset artifacts it
shouldn't be fetching, exhausting the jobs CI timeout.
Since Avocado artifacts are cached, this is not an issue with old
forks, which already have populated the cache and do not need to
download new artifacts to run the tests.
However this is very confusing to new contributors who start to
fork the project and keep having failing CI pipelines.
As a temporary kludge, add the QEMU_CI_AVOCADO_TESTING variable
to allow old forks to keep running the Avocado tests, while still
allowing new forks to use the mainstream set of CI tests.
Keep the tests enabled by default on the mainstream namespace
which is old enough to have a populated cache, hoping we will
keep this cache long enough until the Avocado/QEMU design issue
is fixed.

Sometimes pull requests are merged during the week-end, triggering
a CI pipeline. Currently if such pipeline fails, the Avocado reports
are available for 2 days. For the reviewers working on the project
during office hours, the reports are already discarded when they
want to look at them. Increase this time to 1 week, which should
give reviewers enough time.
Only keep the reports on failure, which is the only case we'll
look at them.

To be able to reuse the mainstream build/test jobs templates,
extract them into a new file (buildtest-template.yml).
