ci: add build:dist for deploys and path filters for doc-only changes

- Add build:dist script (tsc + webpack, skips tests and lint) for use
  in deploy workflows where code is already verified.
- Update deploy.yml to use build:dist instead of build.
- Add paths-ignore to verify_pull_request and verify_branch so that
  changes limited to markdown files, docs/, proposals/, or LICENSES/
  do not trigger CI builds.
