repo:voltha-protos -- changeset did not trigger a VERSION file check

https://gerrit.opencord.org/c/voltha-protos/+/34206

• Modified *.go and *.pb files submitted
• Patch does not contain a VERSION file increment.
• This combination should have triggered a checkin test + failure.
• Instead the job reported "No Builds Executed"

On the surface this state appears odd, I would have expected a job failure due to lack of a VERSION file.

Determine why this job was a NOP.

Legit cases do exist, modified files in this patch may have already been merged into branch=master and the patch simply mirrors what is already the latest version.

Mainly need to eliminate potential for commit hooks not being invoked or a one-off problem (due to a bug – unable to detect a file diff or parsing problem) that prevented a check from being performed.
