verify-chart-version: always run + no-op when chart untouched

verify-version is a required status check (branch ruleset on main). With the
paths: charts/s3proxy/** filter, PRs that don't touch the chart skipped the job,
so the required check never reported and the PR stayed BLOCKED. Drop the path
filter and gate the real steps on a git-diff change-detector, so the check always
runs and passes as a no-op when the chart is not modified.
