ci: simplify docker-compose test workflow conditions (#4989)
# Description of Changes

This pull request simplifies the workflow logic for the
`docker-compose-tests` job in `.github/workflows/build.yml`.

### What was changed
- Removed the extended conditional logic that depended on the results of
the `test-build-docker-images` job.
- Updated the `needs` configuration so that `docker-compose-tests`
depends solely on `files-changed`.

### Why the change was made
The previous logic attempted to optimize execution flow but introduced
unnecessary complexity and conditional branches. By simplifying the
workflow:
- Job relationships become easier to understand and maintain.
- The workflow executes more predictably.
- The dependency graph becomes clearer, reducing potential misfires
caused by mixed job states.
