Is it possible to disable this check based on files that are touched (e.g. test-only fixes don't require a changelog entry) and based on the presence of a label (e.g. mechanical refactorings that have no user-facing impact don't need a changelog entry)?

Right now this would show up like a separate automated check on PRs, which would fail if the changelog is untouched and we don't have the Skip-Changelog label. We can override it in cases where we think a changelog entry is not required. To reduce noise from build failure emails, we can run it only for new PRs, once.

We could also make it smarter about the files that are changed in the PR. Useful example: https://fredrikmeyer.net/2021/05/12/github-actions-changelog.html

My preference would have been to make it a comment instead of a failing check, but I haven't found an action that checks file diffs and comments.
