ci: Improve CI dependency checks (#13175)

This PR updates the way we detect changed packages to rely on Nx under
the hood, which should always be in sync.

Previously, we hard-coded paths in the GH workflow to determine which
packages have been changed, so we can make sure to run tests
accordingly.

Now, we use Nx to detect this for PRs - this takes the dependency graph
into consideration and should always be up-to-date. We just need to make
sure to have correct dependencies defined, also for dev packages like
node-integration-tests (see addition I made there).

Note: For profiling-node, we still check the old way, because we want to
avoid re-running this every time a dependency of profiling-node changes
- because that depends on e.g. core and utils, and we don't want to/need
to re-run this all the time.

This PR does two other things:

1. Enable global yarn cache - this may help us reduce install time on CI
2. Merge the install & build CI steps - these were run in parallel,
which in reality only ate up about 50s, because this is how long it
takes to restore the dependency cache, which had to happen in the build
step. By merging this, min. time for install + build for a fully cached
scenario is down to ~1:15 minutes, where previously it was >2 minutes
across the two steps.
