Add CI Pipeline Efficiency documentation

What does this MR do?

We want to share best practices with making CI pipelines efficient. This includes performance indicators, storage consumption, and more components involved.

Since my CI monitoring webcast touches parts in this direction, and I had the content still in my head, I went ahead with creating a first draft based on the storyline for the slides.

This MR adds two screenshots which showcase things which are otherwise hard to describe:

  • DAG visualization with the critical path, compared to a long CI pipeline.
  • Grafana dashboard for the Prometheus CI Exporter.

Author's checklist (required)

Do not add the feature, frontend, backend, ~"bug", or database labels if you are only updating documentation. These labels will cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

When applicable:

Review checklist

All reviewers can help ensure accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide.

1. Primary Reviewer

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.

3. Maintainer

  1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  2. Ensure a release milestone is set.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
