ci: run only one qemu job per physical box
What changed, and why it matters
This commit changes a CI/CD configuration file so that QEMU-based test jobs run on a dedicated GitLab runner tag (ga-qemu) instead of a shared one (ga). The stated purpose is to limit QEMU jobs to one per physical CI box, likely to avoid resource contention or hardware conflicts during automated testing. There is no change to the Blockstream Jade firmware, wallet logic, cryptography, or any code that end users run.
No security action required. This is an infrastructure/CI scheduling change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies gitlab/flash.yml, updating the tags list for the .flash_qemu_template job from [ga] to [ga-qemu]. This is a GitLab CI runner scheduling constraint. It does not alter source code, build artifacts, flashing scripts, test logic, or security boundaries. No vulnerability, bug fix, or security-relevant behavior is present in the change.
