Update workflows to optimize CI processes (#7828)

This Pull Request addresses the need to optimize our Continuous
Integration (CI) workflows for Playwright tests and release processes.
The changes implemented aim to reduce unnecessary resource usage by
conditionally executing jobs based on relevant file changes and
Implement https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files step

## Changes logs
- Updated `ci-test-docker-compose.yaml , ci-chrome-extension.yaml ` to
check for changed files before running tests.
- Updated `ci-front.yaml , ci-utils.yaml , ci-website.yaml ,
ci-server.yaml` to check for changed files before running tests.
- Enhanced `playwright.yml` to skip unnecessary tests based on file
changes.
