Always exclude root pom.xml from fast workflow module detection

- Add explicit exclusion of root pom.xml in test_discovery.py
- Prevents root module (.) from appearing in affected modules list
- Adds Ollama-specific conditional logic to only start Ollama for Ollama modules
- Ensures fast workflows stay targeted and don't trigger full builds

This fixes the MCP commit test that was incorrectly including root module
and triggering full project build instead of targeted MCP module testing.
