talyz ed2497b405 gitlab.tests: Improve test performance
Massively reduce the time it takes running the test by building a
proper root disk image and increasing the virtualized core count to
4. This should make it much easier for the tests to pass even on
weaker systems.

With my laptop (AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U) as the reference system, I see
the following test run times:

- No change:
  Times out after 28 mins

- Building a root image:
  7 mins, 48 secs

- Building a root image and bumping the core count:
  7 mins, 17 secs

The times include the time it takes to build the image
(~1 min, 20 secs).
