Clean, well-scoped addition. The paths_args suffix is constructed once and appended consistently to both git log invocations. Good use of -- separator for pathspec disambiguation, nargs="+" to prevent empty path lists, and clear documentation of the cherry-pick meta-PR expansion caveat. No concerns.

Description
Add a new
--pathsoption tocompile_contributors.pyto limit git history queries using pathspecs.Apply the path filter to both base and target git log collection and log the active path filter in logs.txt.
Motivation and Context
Allow
compile_contributors.pyto be used for releases where relevant changes are largely limited to a subset of the codebase. E.g., we can limit the paths to WebGPU EP-related files for the WebGPU plugin EP release.
