Add a new script to filter commits by author during commitlint validation in CI/CD workflows. This allows excluding automated commits from bots and tools that may not follow conventional commit message conventions. Changes: - Add filter-commits-by-author.sh script to filter commits by author - Update build-and-test.yaml workflow to use the new filtering script - Add test script for the commit filtering functionality - Update README with documentation on how to use the feature The script supports: - Filtering by author email or name - Comma-separated list of authors to exclude - Fallback to standard commitlint when no filtering is specified - Configuration via GitHub repository variables Co-authored-by: alextse-bg <210440419+alextse-bg@users.noreply.github.com>

Adds ability to exclude commits by author during commitlint validation in CI/CD, enabling bot commits (dependabot, renovate, copilot) to bypass conventional commit format requirements.
