The oracle marker check tests install Pester from PSGallery, and that download fails at times, failing CI for commits that never touched the check.

The tests now run only when the commit changes the check or its tests, compared with the commit's first parent, which for a pull request is its base branch. Manual and release runs still run them every time. The steps are skipped rather than the job, because the success job requires every job to succeed.

What changed in this PR

This PR reduces unrelated CI failures from PSGallery downloads by running the oracle marker check tests only when relevant files change.

Changes:

• Fetches two commits to compare the checked-out commit with its first parent.
• Gates Pester installation and tests on changes to the check or its tests, while retaining unconditional manual and release runs.
• Skips individual steps rather than the job, preserving required-job success handling.
