Using concurrency and dependencies in package CI #684

Issue details
I have now used the template a couple of times and I have ended up adding manually:
- a dependency between the
lintandbuildjobs in the build.yml file - a concurrency check in order to cancel concurrent similar jobs from successive push
Both are good practices to reduce wasted runner time. Would it be worth to have those directly in the template ?

I think the concurrency check is a good default!
I would be a bit more hesitant against lint and build jobs depending on each other, they are really different things. Also, I think it can actually lead to more CI runs. If both linting and testing/building fails separately then we can fix them in one commit (or better: two commits and one push). If you have to wait for one to get fixed before finding out the other also fails you have to do two pushes, and get two CI runs.
