Saves us from burning GHA minutes (4-5 min/run) on CodeQL analysis when no files in the

)Notes
No, unnecessary Actions runs don't cost the project anything, but since it's so easy to be nice and not waste even free resources on analyzing non-code changes, I think we might as well.
Thought about it, but can't skip the CI pipeline for unrelated changes because those checks are marked as required. They also finish in just a minute or two, vs. the 4-5 minutes (or longer) that CodeQL takes to run.
