Currently, our check-system-* jobs are recompiling the whole sources
again. This happens due to the fact that the jobs are checking out
the whole source tree and required submodules again, and only try
to use the "build" directory with the binaries and object files
as an artifact from the previous stage - which simply does not work
anymore (with the current version of meson). Due to some changed
time stamps, meson is always trying to rebuild the whole tree.
To fix this problem, use "meson test --no-rebuild" instead of
"make check" to avoid rebuilding all binaries every time. This
saves ca. 15 - 20 minutes of precious CI cycles in each run.

Marked as "RFC" since I'm not quite sure whether "meson test" has
the same test coverage as "make check"... Paolo?
