[CI] Clean up for BWC tests & run only on PRs for backports (#1948)

Issue:
n/a

Backport PRs will also run actions for pushs and PRs which is just
unneeded double work everytime. So this prevents that.

Also, BWC will run a complete array for every job in the matrix.
Now we set the environment variable to prevents the running of
the default versions.

Finally updating date range of filter tests to be more inclusive for
new test data.
