mktemp can create a tempfile relative to a directory passed in via -p.
It also uses the $TMPDIR variable for the same purpose. When the
template is specified via -t, $TMPDIR takes precedence over -p. When the
template is specified via a positional argument, -p takes precedence.
Since fec38819ac $TMPDIR is set via the
dbus runner which took precedence.
virtme-ng doesn't seem to share /tmp with the host system which results
in the exit status from the test in the VM not propagating back to the
test harness.
Fix that by making sure we always create the tempfile for the result in
the build directory.

We need to use a different $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR path to be able to start most
tests in parallel, and we can use a temporary directory for that which python
cleans up when done.
Also, given that most of settings are stored in HOME use temporary one
for that too, to prevent mutter to fail because it may load some local
configuration (e.g. monitors.xml) that don't meet the expectations or
that may change the test behavior in an unexpected way.
As per this, CI needs to be adapted for new args handling

This means each test is run 4 times:
* with atomic mode setting using a kernel thread,
* with atomic mode setting using a user thread,
* with legacy mode setting using a kernel thread, and
* with legacy mode setting using a user thread.

This commit makes it possible to run test executables in a test
environment constructed of a virtual machine running the Linux kernel
with the virtual KMS driver enabled, and a mocked system environment
using meta-dbus-runner.py/python-dbusmock.
The qemu machine is configured to use 256M of memory, as the default
128M was not enough for the tests to pass.
Using qemu is also only made possible on x86_64; more changes are needed
for it to be runnable on aarch64, so add a warning if it was enabled on
any other architecture.
