Draft: Merge PEP stages with project pipeline in expected order
What does this MR do and why?
This is a proposal on how we could merge stages of Pipeline execution policy into the project pipeline in a more expectable way. The idea is to find commonalities in the stages and merge stages in between. If nothing in common exists, the stages are merged at the beginning, behind .pre. See the specs for examples how it could work.
