PR unable to merge

[tomaszwarda]

Summary

PR is unable to merge if only .md files are edited, because unittest and analyze_workflow are ignoring those files. But merging changes require all checks to pass which is not happening, because 2 of 3 are not even started.

Proposed fix:

Delate from workflows those lines

    paths-ignore:
      - '**.md'

Logs and external information

There is other solution which will not produce unnecessary workload:
https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/defining-the-mergeability-of-pull-requests/troubleshooting-required-status-checks#handling-skipped-but-required-checks

Also this discussion might be informative:
actions/runner-images#1281

But agree with complete path-filtering removal. This will keep CI simple. **/*.md doesn't look sophisticated and creating precise filter might be problematic. You may think that only **/*.py changes should be unit-tested but what about yaml templates - they might be used in unit-tests also.
