Remove the build dependency from some tests.

Remove the build dependency from some tests because it was inconvenient that we could always test only the latest builds. Instead, check in advance if the runtime is presents

Hey, this looks good , but I'm still a bit confused for why we are extracting the build step from Makefile into the CI? I'm not saying it is a bad choice to do so, but just wondering why we are doing it.

@YJDoc2 Nice question! The build dependencies during integration-test would have forced either release or debug builds in advance. This was too restrictive, so we removed this dependency. This made a build step necessary for CI.

In the future, I would like to refactor this CI, so that I can do the build in one place, upload the results, and reuse them elsewhere. I would also like to modify it so that unit tests are done only in one place.

Yes, currently the CI seems too monolithic, with a lot of steps repeated over and over 😓 I will try to find a way to simplify. With the amount of checks we run, (tests x 2 rust versions, integration tests, lints) it might be useful to take a look the test pipeline which Rust language repo uses, although that will need paid resources.

LGTM 👍
