Subject: [PATCH] [pipeline] Switch from dependencies to needs

This new keyword of GitLab allows for jobs in further stages start as
soon as their dependencies are done.

This should speed-up this pipeline, starting most of the acceptance
testing without finishing to the raspberrypi conversions.

Changelog: None
