CI: Improve and cleanup (#6448)

Chores:
- Remove ci-ccache-maint. This has never been useful and is just cruft.
- Remove then unused CI_COMMIT
- Change job names so they come out nicer in the web views
- Make os-name input to reusable-build always explicit

Improvements:
- Have at most build-test job in progress per branch
- Cancel in-progress build-test jobs on PRs
- In forks (that is, not on 'verilator/verilator'), cancel any
  in-progress build-test jobs on push to the branch
