X Title: Refactor how the `checkout_path` input is obtained by mbg · Pull Request #4157 · github/codeql-action

Description: A few cherry-picked commits from the draft PR at #4148. These commits just refactor some existing logic that mainly affects the analyze action, where several places query the checkout_path input directly. The refactor here changes this so that the input is only queried once and propagated explicitly to other use sites (with the exception of in workflow.ts and git-utils.ts, which will be addressed separately in the future). Risk assessment For internal use only. Please select the risk level of this change: Low risk: Changes are fully under feature flags, or have been fully tested and validated in pre-production environments and are highly observable, or are documentation or test only. Which use cases does this change impact? Workflow types: Advanced setup - Impacts users who have custom CodeQL workflows. Managed - Impacts users with dynamic workflows (Default Setup, Code Quality, ...). Products: Code Scanning - The changes impact analyses when analysis-kinds: code-scanning. Code Quality - The changes impact analyses when analysis-kinds: code-quality. Other first-party - The changes impact other first-party analyses. Third-party analyses - The changes affect the upload-sarif action. Environments: Dotcom - Impacts CodeQL workflows on github.com and/or GitHub Enterprise Cloud with Data Residency. GHES - Impacts CodeQL workflows on GitHub Enterprise Server. How did/will you validate this change? Unit tests - I am depending on unit test coverage (i.e. tests in .test.ts files). End-to-end tests - I am depending on PR checks (i.e. tests in pr-checks). If something goes wrong after this change is released, what are the mitigation and rollback strategies? Rollback - Change can only be disabled by rolling back the release or releasing a new version with a fix. How will you know if something goes wrong after this change is released? Telemetry - I rely on existing telemetry or have made changes to the telemetry. Dashboards - I will watch relevant dashboards for issues after the release. Consider whether this requires this change to be released at a particular time rather than as part of a regular release. Alerts - New or existing monitors will trip if something goes wrong with this change. Are there any special considerations for merging or releasing this change? No special considerations - This change can be merged at any time. Merge / deployment checklist Confirm this change is backwards compatible with existing workflows. Consider adding a changelog entry for this change. Confirm the readme and docs have been updated if necessary.
