gitlab: add jobs for thorough block tests

CI is only exercising the qcow2 'auto' tests currently. As a result we get no exposure of changes which cause regressions in other block format drivers. This adds new CI jobs for each block format, that will run the target 'make check-block-$FORMAT'. The jobs are separate so that we have the ability to make each format gating or not, depending on their level of reliability. The 'centos' image is used to run the I/O tests since several tests have an implicit dependency on x86_64-softmmu, and thus break with other architecture targets. The 'centos' build job is the only one that creates the x86_64-softmmu target in CI. Ideally this target portability in I/O tests would be fixed to avoid this limitation.
