[PATCH] gitlab-ci: Check building ppc64 without TCG

[PATCH] gitlab-ci: Check building ppc64 without TCG

[Thomas Huth]

Building QEMU for ppc64 hosts with --disable-tcg used to break a couple
of times in the past, see e.g. commit a01b64cee7 ("target/ppc: Put do_rfi
under a TCG-only block") or commit 049b4ad669 ("target/ppc: Fix build
warnings when building with 'disable-tcg'"), so we should test this in
our CI to avoid such regressions.

 Not sure whether we really should add new shared runner jobs ... but
 I currently also don't see a better option for this: We don't have
 any custom ppc64 runners in our CI, so the only other way to test this
 is travis - but the Travis extension for gitlab recently broke, so
 the results there are currently rather neglected, I think...

Maybe also --disable-tools --disable-docs?

Regardless:

These are already added by the template.
