Skip build stages that have no operations

What does this MR do?

This adds a ErrSkipBuildStage error that can be returned as early as possible when detecting that a build stage won't have any consequence if not run.

Why was this MR needed?

  • Increased performance by not executing redundant stages.
  • Prevents empty BuildSections.
  • Doesn't execute a user's docker container for after_script if no script is provided.

Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?

  • Documentation created/updated
  • Added tests for this feature/bug
  • In case of conflicts with master - branch was rebased

What are the relevant issue numbers?

Closes #25233 (closed)
