A README change shouldn't need a full Rust build. Branches that only touch top-level Markdown or docs/ now skip it. fork-checks still runs, and the run still reports success so Gitea's wait job finishes.

main keeps its full build: a push there cancels the run before it, so skipping could leave the previous merge unchecked.

This PR changes the workflow, so it builds as usual. The skip itself can only be seen on GitHub with the first docs-only branch after it lands.

A README change took a full Rust build. A new changes job compares the branch with where it left main, and the build is skipped when only top-level Markdown or docs/ changed. fork-checks still runs, and the report still posts success, so Gitea's github job doesn't sit waiting.

Markdown elsewhere doesn't count, because vendor crates compile their READMEs in. main always builds: a push there cancels the run before it, so a docs merge that skipped its build could leave the previous merge unchecked.
