   * Additionally autobuild Go in the autobuild Action to ensure backwards
   * compatibility for users performing a multi-language build within a single
   * job.
   *
   * For example, consider a user with the following workflow file:
   *
   * ```yml
   * - uses: github/codeql-action/init@v3
   *   with:
   *     languages: go, java
   * - uses: github/codeql-action/autobuild@v3
   * - uses: github/codeql-action/analyze@v3
   * ```
   *
   * - With Go extraction disabled, we will run the Java autobuilder in the
   *   autobuild Action, ensuring we extract both Java and Go code.
   * - With Go extraction enabled, taking the previous behavior we'd run the Go
   *   autobuilder, since Go is first on the list of languages. We wouldn't run
   *   the Java autobuilder at all and so we'd only extract Go code.
   *
   * We therefore introduce a special case here such that we'll autobuild Go
   * in addition to the primary non-Go traced language in the autobuild Action.
   *
   * This special case behavior should be removed as part of the next major
   * version of the CodeQL Action.
