Refactor Docker image build and push logic in create_packages.yml

- Updated the build process to differentiate between tag/production branches and other branches, ensuring that the frontend and main images are built and pushed accordingly.
- Simplified the conditions for building and pushing images based on changes detected, enhancing the efficiency of the CI/CD workflow.

These changes streamline the Docker image management process, ensuring only relevant images are built and pushed based on the current branch context.
