Building artifacts in a separate pipeline stage also doesn't have

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.
On the contrary I think that the DCO check should be made after builds
as that usually forces users to add a sign-off just to bypass that check
if they want to sanity check their series.
Since the lack of a sign off can be effectively used as a mark for an
patch that is not ready to be pushed, but a build-check is still needed.
This adds a pointless hurdle in using the CI and also removes one of the
meaningful uses to have a sign off checker.
