    Use VM runners[1] for building · a2e886b4

    Building inside a TCG accelerated qemu VM is slow and painful, but it is
    the only option when running in a non-privileged container.
    
    arch-boxes has been built inside a KVM accelerated VMs ("VM runner") for
    over 11 months[2] and recently the MR[1] was merged into the
    infrastructure repo. With it now being a official part of arch's
    infrastructure we should switch to it and get much faster builds.
    
    Doing some quick testing, the whole pipeline is now roughly ~29-84
    minutes faster (taking between 7-9 minutes, instead of 36-93 minutes).
