IONOS(CI): Add prerequisites validation to trigger-remote-dev-workflow

- Add build-artifact to needs array to ensure NC_VERSION output is available
- Update if condition to verify both build-artifact and upload-to-artifactory succeeded
- Add comprehensive validation step that checks all required variables before triggering remote workflow
- Validates secrets (GITLAB_TOKEN, GITLAB_TRIGGER_URL)
- Validates job outputs (NC_VERSION, ARTIFACTORY_LAST_BUILD_PATH)
- Validates GitHub context variables (sha, run_id, ref_name)
- Abort with error if any required variable is missing

This prevents the remote workflow from being triggered with missing critical
variables like NC_VERSION, which was previously not available because
build-artifact was not in the needs array.
