github: check source prep before running gitlab CI

The source preparation script now generates the gitalb-ci.yml and checks
that it's up to date with new image configurations.  Don't run gitlab CI
tests if the source prep check doesn't succeed since it might end up
testing the wrong thing (distros that have been removed, for example).

Also, we need build dependencies to run the script now since it
compiles and runs the list-images command.
