cerbero ci: Refactor cerbero_before_script

Merged Nirbheek Chauhan requested to merge nirbheek/gst-ci:refactor-cerbero-setup into master

We were doing a few things suboptimally:

  1. Making a symlink from the current directory to ../../gstreamer/cerbero so that build-tools kept working, which is not necessary since cerbero relocates all binaries inside the cerbero homedir after extracting the cache

  2. Hard-coding the cerbero builddir when building on Windows because pwd was outputting an MSYS-style path which Python can't read

  3. rsync-ing all the contents of $CERBERO_HOST_DIR, which is a completely unnecessary runner cache of cerbero. We have our own build cache from the artifacts server, and the only thing we need to cache on the runner is the fetched sources, which we do by adding $CERBERO_SOURCES to cache: in ci_template.yml

In some cases (1) doesn't work, such as with bison, and we need to set some env vars in that case.
