Removing group from woodpecker, as its deprecated.

Also removing the drone meltwater cache. Half our builds fail because of its unreliability, and it probably doesn't save that much time anyway.

Now its going to run all the steps serially which is a waste of time. You need to add depends_on so that its parallel again. Basically check_api_common_default_features needs to depend on all the tasks from format group, and then remaining tasks below each need to depend on the previous task.

IMO its not worth the extra complication, because you'd have to add depends on to every single task after that, and the depends_on would need to be an array of all those tasks.

If you look at the build times, removing both group, and the meltwater cache, resulted in build times of less than a minute difference: https://woodpecker.join-lemmy.org/repos/129/pipeline/5112

Not only that, but the Rebuild Cache task is taking over 20m by itself.
