Pull Request Overview
This PR fixes an issue where the CodeQL Action was incorrectly auto-detecting extractors that aren't supported languages (like HTML, CSV, XML, etc.) when using codeql resolve languages. The fix reverts to using a hardcoded set of known languages as a temporary workaround.
- Adds a filter to only include extractors that are defined in the KnownLanguage enum
- Adds "actions" as a new known language and reorders the enum alphabetically
- Includes comprehensive test coverage for both specified and auto-detected unsupported extractors

We tried to determine languages using codeql resolve languages, but that actually gives us extractors, and not all extractors are supported languages. We probably want to change our definition to something like "a -queries pack exists" when doing autodetection, but to get this fixed quickly, this PR reverts back to a hardcoded set.
