Only run pipeline from non-main branches

It restricts running from main, but what if someone wants to test changes from main itself?
we should add some conditions like-
1> if main/non-main, then make sure release number should be less than 3.0.0
2> allow release/* branch for all versions

Let me know your thoughts?

We did something similar check in release.yaml for github pipeline too, can refer.

I see. I was thinking that test changes can be run from the test branches and not main, but you are right we should also restrict the release version from non-release branches.
