Adding dummy check in server build to satisfy required status checks (#296)

This is a hack to get around the fact that Github Actions doesn't support conditional status checks for monorepo PRs. Hence, we create similar jobs in the both server & client builds. In the server build, those jobs are dummy jobs that do nothing but satisfy the all-encompassing green tick so that PRs can be merged without using Admin privileges.
