Currently in Bazel test jobs we simply use //src/.... This results
in non-test targets which are simply unnecessary (e.g. npm_packages),
being built. Instead, we can specify --build_tests_only to instruct
bazel to only build targets needed for testing.

We verify our build in a separate bazel_build job, so building
unrelated things in every test job is superfluos.

Note: I think it's okay to repeat this flag where needed. We don't want to add this as the default, as using this flag only makes sense in certain contexts (or in this case: CI jobs)
