[ci] Reduce tasks slightly (#6011)

Help buy a bit of time until we eliminate the max number of tasks for `release` to wait for, and be more efficient with CI resources:
- Folds the very fast repo-tooling-unit-test step into the existing repo checks task, cutting down on machine overhead.
- Removes the `master` version of downgraded analysis, since it's hard to imagine a plausible scenario where it fails but the `stable` version does not, so we don't need to spend resources on both.
