Subject: [PATCH] Split PR CI into hygiene and code workflows

Markdown-only, YAML-only, or Dockerfile-only changes don't need
to run the full build/test matrix. Separate superlinter and
verify-changelog into pr-repo-hygiene.yml (always runs) and add
path filters to pr.yml so build/test jobs are skipped for
non-code changes.
