Description

**Description:**

Contributions to the CI now have to pass a `{test, bench, nix}` workflows, which takes ~2 hours per loop & keeps those runners occupied & devs waiting vacuously.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

(probably by configuring `skip-duplicate-actions`): Changes to according CI workflow should trigger mostly only that workflow & maybe related ones.

**Additional context**

I tried to enumerate files directly in https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/pull/2506/commits/d7c1a5a2bb58381959a6373f8589ca7ce9cd2481, which in https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/pull/2506#issuecomment-997397938 is described & has a link to the build.

Later I changed `caching` only by changing docs & CI still ran into https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/pull/2506#issuecomment-997424955.

Research direction

Start by reading the CI workflow configuration and the skip-duplicate-actions setup discussed in pull request #2506, including its linked build and comments. Reproduce the caching-only change described there, then verify that changes trigger only the affected workflow and any necessary related workflows instead of the full test, bench, and nix set.
