[ci] Skip some matrix combinations (#1596)

This commit modifies our CI `build_test` matrix job to skip some matrix
combinations that are unlikely to be useful. This should cut down on the
total number of matrix combinations and buy us runway before we exceed
the limit of 256 total combinations, as happened in [1].
