Docker compose's "short" `depends_on` syntax (just mentioning the dependent service) does not assert on the expected condition (`service_healthy` or `service_completed_successfully`). This can lead to services being started too early, although their dependencies are not in the expected state. This change updates the affected parts to use the "long" syntax.

As we are changing to tail forever on the other PR, we will need to change this to service_healthy instead.

Good point!
I'll adjust the other PR.

Actually, it's not strictly needed in the other PR for the telemetry guide, but I've added it for consistency across the guides.
