The test artifacts export jobs don't need prerequisites, so we should
specify "needs" with an empty array for them. That way, they are not
going to fruitlessly wait for previous jobs (ECLAIR jobs) to complete
before continuing.

Looking at the whole pipeline, I can see that now only ECLAIR jobs do not specify needs.
Shouldn't we also add "needs: []" for them?

Thanks!

Yes it could be good for consistency and future-proofness, but
technically it is not required now because the ECLAIR jobs come first.
