Customize the CodeQL workflow

- Give the workflow a shorter name
- Also trigger on "run-ci" branches (in addition to main)
- Also allow to be triggered from Actions tab
- Comment out currently unneeded permissions
- Use v5 of actions/checkout (rather than v4)
- Don't persist auth token after checkout (see #2187)
