Separate GitHub Actions path for GitHub Code Quality

GitHub Code Quality now runs its CodeQL analysis on a separate Actions workflow path, dynamic/github-code-quality/codeql, with a distinct actor named github-code-quality, instead of sharing the dynamic/github-code-scanning/codeql path and github-advanced-security actor used by code scanning. Enabled repositories keep working without changes, but any scripts, dashboards, billing reports, or workflow filters that identify Code Quality runs by the old path or actor need to be updated to also account for the new ones. GitHub Code Quality is available on GitHub Enterprise Cloud, GitHub Team, and GitHub Enterprise Cloud with data residency.
