When we submit a PR for a CI update or docs, we do not want to start CI checking
for ansible-lint, qemu, etc. When we are doing CI updates to 30 or more
roles, this fires off a lot of unnecessary tests, which sometimes causes the
linux-system-roles org in github to be throttled.

When submitting a PR that can skip ci, use "[citest_skip]" in the PR title.

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:

  • Relying on a magic string in the PR title is a bit brittle and requires a force-push to change; consider using a dedicated label (e.g. ci-skip) and checking github.event.pull_request.labels instead so the behavior can be toggled without rewriting the title.
  • To make the condition safer if any of these workflows are ever triggered by events other than pull_request, you may want to guard against github.event.pull_request being undefined, e.g. if: github.event_name != 'pull_request' || !contains(github.event.pull_request.title, '[citest_skip]').
