Replace fkirc/skip-duplicate-actions with paths-filter

[rtibblesbot]

Summary

Four workflows gate jobs on fkirc/skip-duplicate-actions, which is being phased out org-wide. Docs now uses native paths:; the other three use dorny/paths-filter with the same path lists and job gates.

TODO

• Have tests been written for the new code?
• Has documentation been written/updated?
• New dependencies (if any) added to requirements file

Reviewer guidance

No ruleset change needed; job names still match the ruleset's required checks.

Fork runs:

• Gated jobs ran: Linting, Python tests, Migrations
• Gated jobs skipped, required checks green (nested .json-only push): Linting, Python tests, Migrations
• Docs-only change triggers Docs: Docs

Open risks:

• Pushes to non-default branches diff against their merge-base with the default branch, so gated jobs run on more pushes than under fkirc.
• Native paths: inspects only the first 300 changed files; larger PRs may skip Docs.

Issues addressed

Closes #359. Strategy: learningequality/.github#83.

Deviations from the issue spec

Criterion	Why not
Every path list keeps its current patterns	pre-commit.yml uses !**/*.po / !**/*.json instead of **.po / **.json: under paths-filter's picomatch, !**.po only excludes root-level files. Match set is unchanged.
