Huh, weird. Must have been painful to figure out. The Docker image
step took 42 minutes for me so I shudder to think how the
trial-and-error process went. But now that it's working and cached,
build jobs start up nice and fast, so that's some great progress.

I'm experimenting with this on my own development branches for now,
and will see what else I can improve. Then maybe I'll change the
cfbot over after the commitfest. (Also got to get macOS doing
check-world, and Linux using a fast-start Docker image.)
