[PATCH 0/3] automation: improve pipeline

[Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Given the recent change in ARM64 runners, moving a way from a fast
baremetal ARM64 server to multiple slower ARM64 VMs and server, this
patch series makes the Gitlab pipeline more resilient to random
infrastructure failures by:

- temporarily disabling the Yocto jobs
- increasing the max timeout of QEMU jobs
- introducing "expect" so that QEMU jobs can stop as soon as the right
  string is received instead of waiting until the timeout

I am making all changes consistent across architectures, even thought
they are only required for arm64 right now.

Cheers,

Stefano
