Add workaround for weird CodeQL releasing schema

[mirabilos]

github/codeql-action#1561 (comment) indicates that we shouldn’t look at “releases” for CodeQL.

Could you please add a workaround to the GHA version updater that handles github/codeql-action/* specially?

Thanks!

I put github/codeql-action/init@v2 into the files now, and when I run the updater, it throws an exception (though it’s not clear from the context it’s the codeql one, I just ran the updater on an almost-copy of the .github/workflows/ directory in another repo that had all but the codeql one, and it worked fine):

The beginning is cut off, perhaps earlier in the log, but unsure.

The action now displays warning messages in such cases and will suggest the latest release instead of crashing. You can also skip github/codeql-action/init@v2 update by using ignore option.

OK, not crashing, and ignoring it is one thing, but maybe have a whitelist of actions for which to not look at the releases but at tags instead would make sense?
