workflows: Run unit tests in our tasks container

This reduces our tools like `ruff` to a single source of truth (as all
our other projects already run their unit tests and linting in the tasks
container). It also removes a lot of moving parts only relevant for CI.
In practice, us developers run the unit tests in toolbox or our own dev
machines anyway.

Move building the guide in the release workflow to the tasks container
as well.
