ci: pre-pull phpfpm+mariadb images in PHPUnit, Doctrine and API-spec jobs

These jobs run `docker compose run phpfpm` without --no-deps, which starts
mariadb (depends_on) — so the two images were pulled serially on demand inside
the first step (~30s). Pull them once up front in parallel, mirroring the
Playwright job. The Doctrine Postgres job is left as-is: it builds phpfpm
locally (pdo_pgsql) rather than pulling, so there is no parallel pull to gain.
