Pull Request Overview
This PR introduces a new experimental setup-codeql action that installs the CodeQL CLI without initializing a database, providing a more focused tool setup capability separate from the existing init action.
Key changes:
- Adds a standalone setup-codeql action for CodeQL CLI installation only
- Creates new action entry point with status reporting integration
- Updates test workflows to use the new action instead of init

Nice! If we aren't yet supporting running init after setup-codeql, should it be a configuration error to do so?

This PR takes a stab at adding a setup-codeql action, which just installs the CodeQL CLI. Unlike init, it does not initialise a database.
This doesn't change the init action in any way yet. I.e. the goal of this PR is not to support running setup-codeql followed by init, but just setup-codeql on its own with no subsequent codeql-action steps.
