Instead of skipping the entire CI workflow for documentation-only changes, this makes the optimization more granular by: - Adding a 'changes' job to detect which files have changed - Only skipping expensive jobs (rust-format, rust-build-and-test, desktop-lint, bundle-desktop-unsigned) for docs-only PRs - Keeping the workflow running so other important checks (DCO, security scans, etc.) continue to work - Using dorny/paths-filter for reliable file change detection This approach saves significant CI resources for documentation PRs while maintaining all necessary checks for code changes.

Clean up the workflow by removing the explanatory comments for the conditional job logic.
Pin dorny/paths-filter@v3 to commit SHA de90cc6fb38fc0963ad72b210f1f284cd68cea36 to address the security alert about third-party actions not being pinned.

This pull request updates the CI workflow configuration to optimize when the workflow is triggered. The most important change is the addition of
paths-ignorerules to exclude documentation-only changes from triggering the CI workflow.Workflow optimization:
.github/workflows/ci.yml: Addedpaths-ignorerules under bothpull_requestandmerge_grouptriggers to prevent the CI workflow from running for changes made exclusively in thedocumentation/**directory.
