Subject: [PATCH] ci(pr-review-companion): run independent steps in parallel

Use the GitHub Actions `parallel` step group to overlap independent,
network-bound steps instead of running them serially:

- the artifact download and the `mdn/content` checkout,
- the status update, GCP authentication, and Node setup.

The checkout is no longer gated on `HAS_ARTIFACT`, as it now precedes the
`Check for artifacts` step.
