When someone creates an invalid `queries` entry in the codeql config
file, like this:
```
queries:
- foo.ql
```
THe error message is confusing, looking like this:
```
Error: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'uses' in ql/ql/src
TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'uses' in ql/ql/src
at loadConfig (/home/runner/work/_actions/github/codeql-action/71a8b35ff4c80fcfcd05bc1cd932fe3c08f943ca/lib/config-utils.js:577:41)
```
With this change, the error message is more comprehensible:
`queries must be an array, with each entry having a 'uses' property`
This commit adds the packs and queries from the actions input to the
config file used by the CodeQL CLI.
When the `+` is used, the actions input value is combined with the
config value and when it is not used, the input value overrides the
config value.
This commit also adds a bunch of integration tests for this feature.
In order to avoid adding too many new jobs, all of the tests are
run sequentially in a single job (matrixed across relevant operating
systems and OSes).
This decorator enabled us to use the functionality of the Actions
toolcache within the runner too.
Now that we've deleted the runner we no longer need it.
Previously, we were being too strict about checking that a pack's
language was being scanned. It was a failure if a pack language
was specified for a language not being scanned.
This change adds a `query-filters` property to the codeql-config file.
This property is an array of `exclude`/`include` entries for a query
suite. These filters are appended to the generated query suite files
and used to filter queries after they are selected.
A related change is that now, all pack references are run in a single
query suite, which has the query filters appended to them.
.substr() is deprecated so we replace it with .slice() which works similarily but isn't deprecated

4.4.2 introduces a breaking change that the variable in a catch clause
is now `unknown` type. So, we need to cast the `e`, `err`, or `error`
variables to type `Error`.
This input allows users to specify which packs to run. It works in
unison with the packs block of the config file and it is similar to
how `queries` works. They both use `+` in the same way.
Note that the `#TODO` in the pr check is still around, but the CLI
is available. I will remove the TODO in the next commit.
