[PATCH v3 0/2] Enable Initial CodeQL Support

["Michael Kubacki" <mikuback@linux.microsoft.com>]

From: Michael Kubacki <michael.kubacki@microsoft.com>

REF:https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4115

This patch series enables initial CodeQL support within the edk2
repository.

After this patch, a CodeQL Analyze step will run on a subset of
edk2 packages in Pull Requests. The plan to scale additional CodeQL
queries is documented in the RFC and it is recommeneded to read
that for more detail:

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/discussions/3258#discussioncomment-3682099

In summary, this change will:

- Main workflow file - .github/workflows/codeql-analysis.yml

1. Add a code scanning workflow with the CodeQL Analysis GitHub action
2. Build packages on Windows + VS2019
3. Perform CodeQL analysis on the build results

- Custom configuration file - .github/codeql/codeql-config.yml

1. Specify the edk2 CodeQL query set
2. Apply a query filter to exclude errors, warnings, and
   recommendations

- edk2 query set file - .github/codeql/edk2.qls

1. Enable a single query: cpp/conditionallyuninitializedvariable

Per the RFC, this enables CodeQL but does not allow any alerts
by suppressing all of the severity levels.

When the code changes necessary to resolve problems found with
cpp/conditionallyuninitializedvariable are checked in, the severity
filter can be adjusted such that query is enabled.

V3 Changes:

1. Remove Node.js and cspell installation from workflow

These are not needed for the build used for CodeQL.

V2 Changes:

1. Switch from Ubuntu + GCC5

As noted in the v1 series, there is an occassional issue with
filesystem paths on Ubuntu + GCC at the moment that prevents this
change from being checked in. A bug has been filed against CodeQL
and  the CodeQL team has confirmed this is a bug. They were not
aware of the bug until this report.

In the meantime, this v2 patch series places the workflow on
Windows with VS2019 which has been reliable across testing.
