code quality: add CodeQL static analysis

Add a CodeQL workflow to perform static security analysis on the Python
codebase. The workflow runs on push/PR to main and weekly on Tuesdays.

The Meson build runs before analysis so that all template-configured
files are resolved in .build/ prior to scanning. A CodeQL config file
constrains analysis to .build/ (excluding .build/subprojects/, which
is nvme-cli/libnvme code) and sets PYTHONPATH so that libnvme imports
are resolved for accurate taint tracking.
