This makes it so you can override the temporary directory used by the Action by setting the
CODEQL_ACTION_TEMP
environment variable.I went with an environment variable instead of an input, both because I think it's advantageous to be able to override this for all jobs on self-hosted runners and because it allows you to set it once for the entire workflow rather than for each step.
This option is a useful escape hatch for Windows hosted runners, which have a very fast, but also very small temporary disk. This is used by default, but if the project is too big to build on this disk it's potentially useful to be able to use the larger, slower disk instead.
