This PR enables CodeQL, a semantic code analysis engine by Github, to scan for security issues on this repo.
By default it will scan on the following interval:
Every new commit against the default branch (in this case master)
Every new pull request against the default branch (in this case master)
Once per week on Sunday at Midnight UTC which can be seen in the newly created .github/workflows/.codeql-analysis.yml file under the -cron flag under schedule.
To learn more about the analysis tool and why we are using it please see: https://codeql.github.com/docs/codeql-overview/ for information about codeQl, and this blog post for a little more context and background. This tool has already proven useful in the repos in which it has been enabled and has found bugs which we previously had missed.
