Feature - CI process optimization

[Agnul97]

Brief description of the PR.
This PR is a collection of optimizations for the CI configuration. They follow the work started with the PR #3785.
The scope of this work is not only to speed-up the build for our interest but also to reduce the utilization of resources running jobs that we share with other eclipse projects.

Description of the solution adopted
First of all, in a separate investigation, I noticed that the 'kapua artifacts' (the ones created in the build job and later cached for the test jobs) could have been built with maven in multi-threading mode, because the plugins used for this build process are thread-safe (in contrast with the plugins used for building docker images, that are not thread-safe). As a consequence, I Inserted the multi-thread building with the '-1C' option, in this way 1 thread is spawn for each available core (this is nice in this GitHub environment because machines available for the build job could have different number of cores)

Running some tests locally, in the past, I realized that the kapua-api docker image is never used in a lot of ci-jobs. So, it is useless to re-build it in every job as we do now. I modified the abstract script that runs tests to introduce a new parameter that specifies if the job needs the rest-api image and builds it if necessary.

I modified this same script to insert a parameter (run-junit) that allows to choose if we want to run junit or cucumber tests. In this way now also the step that runs junit tests in the ci configuration uses this script.

I moved the configuration of the maven surefire plugin in the pom files that is needed to run tests without jvm parameters. In this way now there is no need to use the parameters present in the head of the CI configuration file
