Use post compose validation:
- ensure that bridge has a valid number of entries
- use simplifiable to construct need type
- use aspect with opt to indicate allowed opts

Removes the support for specifying a job in symbol format in need.

Validates need types in Job and Bridge config.

- Only Pipeline type needs are allowed in regular jobs
- Only Bridge and Pipeline type needs are allowed in bridge jobs
- Only one Bridge type need is allowed in a bridge job

Simplified Need differentiation by adding #type to be used instead
of #bridge and #pipeline.

Moves the Needs entry to core, because it's required for use in DAG
needs.

Separates bridge and DAG needs into two separate entities to avoid any
ambiguity.

Make `Job`, `Bridge` and `Default` to be truly inheritable

Closes #34518

See merge request gitlab-org/gitlab!18867

This changes `Job`, `Bridge` and `Default`
to use `Inheritable` to inherit the configuration.

Shared example ensure that all fields are annotated
with `inherit:` and does have matching type when inherited.

Since the `Default:` is shared, it requires that
inheritable fields to be also added to `Job` and `Bridge`.

Include puma logs alongside rails logs in GDK

See merge request gitlab-org/gitlab!19082

Currently puma logs are emitted to a different location than rails logs.
In development environments, having a single stream of logs for puma
and rails simplifies things and ensures that developers will see puma
errors, instead of having them emitted to a file that is not usually
checked.

Record sidekiq queuing latency

See merge request gitlab-org/gitlab!19005

Adds a Prometheus histogram, `sidekiq_jobs_queue_duration_seconds` for
recording the duration that a Sidekiq job is queued for before being
executed.

This matches the scheduling_latency_s field emitted from structured
logging for the same purpose.
