The `ccache` tool can be very effective at reducing compilation times
when re-running pipelines with only minor changes each time. For example
a fresh 'build-system-fedora' job will typically take 20 minutes on the
gitlab.com shared runners. With ccache this is reduced to as little as
6 minutes.
Normally meson would auto-detect existance of ccache in $PATH and use
it automatically, but the way we wrap meson from configure breaks this,
as we're passing in an config file with explicitly set compiler paths.
Thus we need to add $CCACHE_WRAPPERSPATH to the front of $PATH. For
unknown reasons if doing this in msys though, gcc becomes unable to
invoke 'cc1' when run from meson. For msys we thus set CC='ccache gcc'
before invoking 'configure' instead.
A second problem with msys is that cache misses are incredibly
expensive, so enabling ccache massively slows down the build when
the cache isn't well populated. This is suspected to be a result of
the cost of spawning processes under the msys architecture. To deal
with this we set CCACHE_DEPEND=1 which enables ccache's 'depend_only'
strategy. This avoids extra spawning of the pre-processor during
cache misses, with the downside that is it less likely ccache will
find a cache hit after semantically benign compiler flag changes.
This is the lesser of two evils, as otherwise we can't use ccache
at all under msys and remain inside the job time limit.
If people are finding ccache to hurt their pipelines, it can be
disabled by setting the 'CCACHE_DISABLE=1' env variable against
their gitlab fork CI settings.

The FF_SCRIPT_SECTIONS=1 variable should ordinarily cause output from
each line of the job script to be presented in a collapsible section
with execution time listed.
While it works on Linux shared runners, when used with Windows runners
with PowerShell, this option does not create any sections, and actually
causes echo'ing of commands to be disabled, making it even worse to
debug the jobs.

Building at -O2, adds 33% to the build time, over -O2. IOW a build that
takes 45 minutes at -O0, takes 60 minutes at -O2. Turning off debug
symbols drops it further, down to 38 minutes.
IOW, a "-O2 -g" build is 58% slower than a "-O0" build on msys in the
gitlab CI windows shared runners.

We current reference an msys installer binary from mid-2022, which means
after installation, it immediately has to re-download a bunch of newer
content. This wastes precious CI time.
The msys project publishes an installer binary with a fixed URL that
always references the latest content. We cache the downloads in gitlab
though and so once downloaded we would never re-fetch the installer
leading back to the same problem.
To deal with this we also fetch the pgp signature for the installer
on every run, and compare that to the previously cached signature. If
the signature changes, we re-download the full installer.
This ensures we always have the latest installer for msys, while also
maximising use of the gitlab cache.

By using --enable-fdt=system we can make sure that the configure
script does not try to check out the "dtc" submodule. This should
help to safe some precious CI minutes in the long run.
While we're at it, also drop some now-redundant --enable-slirp
and --enable-capstone statements. These used to have the "=system"
suffix in the past, too, which has been dropped when the their
corresponding submodules had been removed. Since these features
are auto-enabled anyway now (since the containers have the right
libraries installed), we do not need the explicit --enable-...
statements anymore.

The windows jobs (especially the 32-bit job) recently started to
hit the timeout limit. Bump it a little bit to ease the situation
(80 minutes is quite long already - OTOH, these jobs do not have to
wait for a job from the container stage to finish, so this should
still be OK).
Additionally, some update on the container side recently enabled
OpenGL in these jobs - but the corresponding code fails to compile.
Thus disable OpenGL here for the time being until someone figured

The following error message was seen during the configure:
"ln: failed to create symbolic link
'x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64.exe': No such file or directory"
By default the MSYS environment variable is not defined, so the runtime
behavior of winsymlinks is: if <target> does not exist, 'ln -s' fails.
At the configure phase, the qemu-system-x86_64.exe has not been built
so creation of the symbolic link fails hence the error message.
Set winsymlinks to 'native' whose behavior is most similar to the
behavior of 'ln -s' on *nix, that is:
a) if native symlinks are enabled, and whether <target> exists
or not, creates <destination> as a native Windows symlink;
b) else if native symlinks are not enabled, and whether <target>
exists or not, 'ln -s' creates as a Windows shortcut file.

The new msys2-64bit job is often running for more than 50 minutes - and
if the CI is currently loaded, it times out after 60 minutes. The job
has been declared with a bigger timeout, but seems like this is getting
ignored on the shared Gitlab-CI Windows runners, so we're currently
seeing a lot of failures with this job. Thus we have to reduce the time
it takes to finish this job. Since we want to test compiling the WHPX
and HAX accelerator code with this job, switching to another target CPU
is not really a good option, so let's reduce the amount of code that we
have to compile with the --without-default-devices switch instead.
