ci(codeql): skip analysis on documentation-only changes

CodeQL analyzes C# and TypeScript, so a commit touching only docs or markdown
cannot change its result - it spent ~10 minutes (8:50 for C#, 1:32 for
TypeScript) re-reporting an unchanged outcome.

paths-ignore on push and pull_request only. The weekly cron stays unfiltered:
it exists to catch advisories published against code that did not change, and
it doubles as the backstop should the filter ever skip too much.

A commit touching docs AND code still runs - GitHub skips only when every
changed path matches the filter.
