Extend paths-ignore in iceberg_spark_test.yml and spark_sql_test.yml so PRs that touch only Comet's own test code or resources do not trigger these external-project test workflows. Adds spark/src/test/**, common/src/test/**, fuzz-testing/**, spark-integration/**, and dev/** to the ignore list. The broader spark/src/test/** pattern subsumes the previous benchmark-only entry.
The dev/ directory contains Spark source diffs applied to the external Spark checkout, so changes there can affect Spark SQL test behavior.

Which issue does this PR close?
N/A. Small CI chore prompted by #4021, which only added a SQL test resource file but still triggered the Iceberg and Spark SQL test workflows.
Rationale for this change
The Iceberg and Spark SQL test workflows run the Iceberg and Spark SQL test suites against Comet as a plugin. Their behavior depends on Comet plugin code (native, common/main, spark/main), not on Comet's own test code or standalone subprojects. Today these workflows run even when a PR touches only Comet's own tests, which wastes CI time and noise.
#4021 is a concrete example: it added a single file under
spark/src/test/resources/sql-tests/...and still fired both workflows.What changes are included in this PR?

Mixed PRs (any src change alongside test changes) still trigger the Iceberg and Spark SQL workflows, because GitHub only skips when every changed file matches the ignore list.How are these changes tested?
CI configuration change. The new triggers will be exercised by subsequent PRs. The YAML files were validated and the diff is limited to additions in
paths-ignoreplus the single redundant-entry removal noted above.
