[RFC PATCH] testing: restore some testing for i686

[Alex Bennée]

The commit 4f9a8315e6 (gitlab-ci.d/crossbuilds: Drop the i386 system
emulation job) was a little too aggressive dropping testing for 32 bit
system builds. Partially revert but using the debian-i686 cross build
images this time as fedora has deprecated the 32 bit stuff.

FWIW: It was necessary at that point in time since we were constantly 
running out of CI minutes, and that job was one of the jobs that was running 
for the longest time, consuming lots of CI minutes, while only testing a 
host environment that hardly anybody uses anymore.

But now we've got our own custom runners, so we're not that badly limited in 
runtime anymore I guess, so it should be ok to re-introduce this job.
