[CI] Don't run for documentation-only changes.

I found an example, but unfortunately it's for Travis so this is in .travis.yml config. We would have to migrate it to either Rakefile/Circle config or maybe even a new script.

As always, please assign yourself if you are working on it so we won't duplicate our work ✌️

@sunshinejr Assign this one to me, gives me an excuse to look into Circle 😅

Sure thing, thanks @Sherlouk! (seems like I can't assign outside of the org, but everyone sees it so I think it's okay anyways 😄)

Yeah, there's an issue requesting that feature here. It's been 4 years already so I don't think it's coming anytime soon 😭 I really want it though

I found this article that shows how to skip CI builds if changes are in a certain directory by combining git hooks with a .ciignore (or any name) file. The only problem is that git hooks are local and are not copied over when a repo is cloned or forked, so I've hit a dead-end there 😓

I'm still looking for a way to achieve this in CircleCI tho 😅

@yeskunall you can check #1339 as there should be a working script that does that.
