[PATCH v2 5/8] ci: rename linux-TEST-vars job

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date

Message-ID
<20261009-pks-ci-housekeeping-v2-5-6863d58ef691@pks.im>
In-Reply-To

The "linux-TEST-vars" job exercises Git with a bunch of non-default options enabled. The name of that job makes you want to cry though due to the weird upper-casing and because it doesn't really tell you what it even intends to do.

Rename the job to "linux-exotic" instead.
