Starting in version 2024.12, the "cov-build" command is only supposed to be used for "build capture", while the "filesystem capture" used for non-compiled languages is only available via Coverity CLI (the "coverity" command). The GH Action we use does not yet support that, so introduce a workaround by tricking the Action to run the correct command via command injection. Fixes intel#5254.

Hah, I love it. Let's give this a shot, but also I'm not particularly set on using the workflow we're using if this doesn't work and it turns out to be easier to just call coverity directly.
Coverity doesn't run on PRs so I'll merge this and we'll see what happens.

Tested in my fork: example run.
I've also explicitly limited the languages to Python and JS, as it was needlessly picking many documentation and other aux files. Let me know if you think this should be tweaked. That also removed the need for one of the exclude regexes.
Fixes #5254.
