ci: Reduce number of stages
Right now we're dividing the jobs into three stages: prebuild, which
includes DCO checking as well as building artifacts such as the
website, and native_build/cross_build, which do exactly what you'd
expect based on their names.
This organization is nice from the logical point of view, but results
in poor utilization of the available CI resources: in particular, the
fact that cross_build jobs can only start after all native_build jobs
have finished means that if even a single one of the latter takes a
bit longer the pipeline will stall, and with native builds taking
anywhere from less than 10 minutes to more than 20, this happens all
the time.
Building artifacts in a separate pipeline stage also doesn't have any
advantages, and only delays further stages by a couple of minutes.
The only job that really makes sense in its own stage is the DCO
check, because it's extremely fast (less than 1 minute) and, if that
fails, we can avoid kicking off all other jobs.
Reducing the number of stages results in significant speedups:
specifically, going from three stages to two stages reduces the
overall completion time for a full CI pipeline from ~45 minutes[1]
to ~30 minutes[2].
