ci: avoid running coverage on package only PRs (#32573)

* ci: remove !docs from "core" filters

Written like it is now it causes package only PRs
to run with coverage.

* Try to skip job under condition, see if the workflow proceed

* Try to cancel a running CI job

* Simplify linux unit-tests, skip windows unit-tests on package PRs

* Reduce the inputs to unit-tests workflow

* Move control logic to main workflow, remove inputs

* Revert "Move control logic to main workflow, remove inputs"

This reverts commit 0c46fece4c49eb7a37585ec3ba651a31d7f958af.

* Do not compute "with_coverage" since it's always == to "core"

* Remove workflow dispatch from unit tests

* Revert "Revert "Move control logic to main workflow, remove inputs""

This reverts commit dd4e4a4e61a825901e736348fd044d37e88c90b5.

* Try to skip all from the main workflow

* Add back bootstrap to needed checks for "all"

* Restore the correct logic for conditionals
