[PATCH v2 4/4] gitlab-ci: Fix Avocado cache usage

[Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>]

In commit 6957fd98dc ("gitlab: add avocado asset caching") we
tried to save the Avocado cache (as in commit c1073e44b4 with
Travis-CI) however it doesn't work as expected. For some reason
Avocado uses /root/avocado_cache/ which we can not select later.

Manually generate a Avocado config to force the use of the
current job's directory.

This patch is based on an earlier version from Philippe Mathieu-Daudé.
