It is a well known limitation that GitHub uses the pattern
<install_dir>/_work/<repo_name>/<repo_name>/ as the working
directory on the GitHub workflow agents.
It is redundant and particularly impactful on Windows as discussed
below:
This especially causes an issue in a Mu repository at the moment
(mu_common_intel_min_platform) due to its longer name which is
repeated twice in the path (as <repo-name>).
This change is limited to the GitHub CodeQL workflow and was found
to resolve the issue encountered and not raise any additional issues
in this workflow in testing.
