CodeQL out of memory

[BrightRan]

Associated GitHub Community ticket: https://github.community/t/codeql-out-of-memory/135280

The customer set a workflow like as this. When the set the CodeQL action to run for the C# language, the step "Perform CodeQL Analysis" failed with the following errors (more details, see here):

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: INFO: os::commit_memory(0x00000007e2300000, 200278016, 0) failed; error='The paging file is too small for this operation to complete' (DOS error/errno=1455)

Updates from the GitHub Community ticket:

• There are at least a one other running into this same issue when analyzing C#
• Not every run was a failure, there were two successes out of five runs (similarly, the above workflow failed twice and succeeded once)
• At the suggestion of @al-cheb, I tried using their configure-pagefile-action, and was able to resolve this error

    - name: configure Pagefile
      uses: al-cheb/configure-pagefile-action@v1.2
      with:
          minimum-size: 8GB
          maximum-size: 32GB

We're seeing a similar issue in cdr/code-server: see logs
