The release-task ***must*** always execute last, in order to guarantee a
consistent cache of release archives from dependent tasks. It
accomplishes this by verifying it's task-number matches one-less than
the total number of tasks. Previous to this commit, a YAML anchor/alias
was used to avoid duplication of the dependency list between 'success'
and 'release'
However, it's been observed that this opens the possibility for
'release' and 'success' tasks to race when running on a PR. Because
YAML anchor/aliases cannot be used to modify lists, duplication is
required to make 'release' actually depend upon 'success'.
This duplication will introduce an additional maintenance burden.
Though when adding a new task, it's already very easy to forget to
update the 'depends_on' list. Assist both cases by the addition
unit-tests to verify ``.cirrus.yml`` dependency contents and structure.
