Subject: [PATCH] refactor(ng-dev/release): centralize and expand ignored paths
 for snapshot publishing

Centralizes the paths to exclude when detecting changes for snapshot
publishing into a single constant. Additionally, adds `pubspec.lock`
to the list of ignored files to avoid unnecessary snapshot releases
when only lock files change.
