ci: only build when image-affecting files change

Add path filters so the workflow runs only when the Dockerfile, nginx config,
site assets or .dockerignore change. CI-config, Renovate-config and docs
changes (such as a Renovate bump of a CI action) no longer trigger a build or
release. workflow_dispatch is added for manual runs after pipeline changes.
