fix: skip tests and CodeQL for doc-only changes

[jenlevy]

Add paths-ignore for docs/** to test.yaml and codeql.yaml so that doc-only PRs no longer trigger the full CI matrix (unit tests, e2e tests, CodeQL analysis). check.yaml is left unchanged since it runs the Sphinx docs build that validates proposal files.

Closes: #1230

I added a comment to make scope of paths-ignore broader. Also @jenlevy this PR should be targeted towards main right?

[rd4398]

Can we have a more broader set here something like below:

paths-ignore:
    - 'docs/**'
    - '*.md'
    - '*.rst'
    - 'LICENSE'

[rd4398]

One thing I need to verify but need admin access to do so: I need to look at Required checks interaction. From claude

gh api repos/python-wheel-build/fromager/branches/main/protection/required_status_checks

This returns the list of required check names. If any of unit, e2e, Coverage report, or Analyze appear there, doc-only PRs will be blocked.

When paths-ignore causes a workflow to be skipped entirely, GitHub reports the jobs as "skipped" rather than "success." If branch protection rules require those jobs (e.g., unit, e2e, coverage) to pass before merging, doc-only PRs will be unmergeable because the required checks never run.

@LalatenduMohanty can you help with this please?

yes, we need to fix this.

[LalatenduMohanty]

No required status checks are configured on main.

$ gh api repos/python-wheel-build/fromager/branches/main/protection/required_status_checks --jq '{strict: .strict, checks: .checks, contexts: .contexts}'
{
  "checks": [],
  "contexts": [],
  "strict": true
}

empty lists mean no jobs are gating merges, so paths-ignore skipping workflows won't block doc-only PRs.

perfect, thank you @LalatenduMohanty
