… (JAVA-519) Android-only PRs were silently triggering 24 unrelated backend system test jobs (~8 min each) on every push and PR. This commit adds path-ignore filters to exclude ~10 Android modules, so that backend CI tests will be skipped in the case of Android-specific changes.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Maybe we should always run everything on the main branch and just disable it for PR builds.
Keep path filters on pull_request only so Android-only PRs skip the job, but every merge to main still runs backend system tests. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

📜 Description
Android-only PRs were silently triggering 24 unrelated backend system test jobs (up to 10 min each). This update lets us skip those jobs when we don't need them.
Every push to main still runs the full matrix (in line with @runningcode's review).

💡 Motivation and Context
Follow-up to #5453, which fixed the same issue for the Spring Boot matrix workflows.

💚 How did you test it?
CI configuration only — no code behaviour changed. Verified glob semantics:
*android*/**is anchored to the repo root and matches any top-level directory whose name contains "android".📝 Checklist
