Subject: [PATCH] perf(ci): optimize pipeline for faster execution

Optimizations:
- Combined 5 separate cache steps into single unified cache (faster restoration)
- Removed redundant PostgreSQL wait (service health checks already ensure ready)
- Removed redundant deps.compile step (mix compile handles it)
- Removed system deps caching (marginal benefit, adds overhead)
- Faster postgres health checks (3s interval vs 5s)
- Added --max-cases 24 for parallel test execution
- Simplified deps.get to --only test (don't need dev/prod deps)

Expected speedup: 20-30% faster cold runs, 40-50% faster warm runs
