Pull Request Overview
This PR updates the CodeQL Action to skip database uploads when Code Scanning is not enabled as an analysis kind. This addresses the issue where the API endpoint for database uploads doesn't accept uploads without Code Scanning enabled, preventing unnecessary warnings in the workflow logs.
Key changes:
- Added an early return check in
uploadDatabasesto skip upload whenAnalysisKind.CodeScanningis not included in the enabled analysis kinds - Added corresponding unit test coverage to verify the new skip behavior

Databases that are produced if
analysis-kinds: code-qualityis the only enabled analysis kind are initialised for a different set of queries than those that are initialised ifanalysis-kinds: code-scanningis enabled. This shouldn't really be a problem in itself, but the API endpoint for database uploads also doesn't currently accept uploads if Code Scanning is not enabled. That results in a warning in the CodeQL Action, rather than an outright failure, but both of these points combined mean it probably makes sense for us to skip attempting a database upload.Risk assessment
