Integrate SARIF report with Github code scanning

[picklebento]

This should wrap up basic support for #3045. This PR integrates SARIF output with Github code scanning by adding a new GitHub workflow using detekt without type resolution.

• Fix a bug in KtCompiler.kt that we need to yield the absolute path of the base path.
• Use %SRCROOT% as uriBaseId. In SARIF support for coding scanning, %SRCROOT% was used as an example, which seems to be the only way that works with Github Action. If we pass the base path based on the local directory, like "uriBaseId": "/Users/chaozhang/detekt", it will not be consumed by Github.
• In the screenshot, we are showing duplicate messages. This is because not each CodeSmell defines its own message. It will fallback to issue description if no message is specified, which is exactly the case in the manual test.

Follow up

• Once this PR is merged, I will add a specific page in doc on integrating with Github actions.
• Type resolution is still experimental that I see errors in the log. Running detekt with type resolution will also generate one SARIF per source set and require Github work flow to upload multiple SARIF files, instead of one file. Given these complications, I am only using the SARIF output for detekt run without type resolution in this PR.
• Once there is a new detekt version released, I can change the option to enable the SARIF output by default + to enable relative path by default given the project root. (If we resolve Setup the correct pipeline for integration test of detekt gradle plugin #3324, we no longer need to wait for new detekt versions to be released).

Test

See the PR on my own fork of detekt, you can find GitHub codescanning like the following:

This seems like a good default value for the cli, right?

[picklebento]

I am assuming either

1. When passing -bp without arguments, use the user.dir as the base path
2. When not passing -bp, change the default behavior to output relative paths

I like 2, but not sure if it will be too breaking.

[picklebento]

3. Adding an option in the detekt config file to specify the behavior.

[BraisGabin]

I was thinking that if you don't set -bp the working dir is used by default. This way all the reports will use relative paths. I think that all of them should, those files should be sharables so it have little sense to have a full path. (Again this is out of scope of the PR but just ideas about how we could improve this new feature)

[picklebento]

Do you think it is a good idea to open an issue to document all things to follow up? This PR is one of the working stream.

[picklebento]

#3360 was created to track the follow-up issues. There are many good suggestions like this so I think we need at least a single place to document them.

I don't quite understand the following comment. Could you please elaborate?
What happens with enabled type resolution?
What happens with disabled type resolution?

Type resolution is still experimental that I see errors in the log. Running detekt without type resolution will also end up uploading multiple SARIF files, instead of one file. I will investigate and change the type resolution when it is ready in the future.

Running detekt with enabled type resolution on detekt yields compiler warnings:

                                                         ^
//Users/cazhang/detekt/detekt-core/src/test/kotlin/io/gitlab/arturbosch/detekt/core/baseline/BaselineFormatSpec.kt:56:45: error: cannot access 'Baseline': it is internal in 'io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt.core.baseline'
            val savedBaseline by memoized { Baseline(setOf("4", "2", "2"), setOf("1", "2", "3")) }
                                            ^
//Users/cazhang/detekt/detekt-core/src/test/kotlin/io/gitlab/arturbosch/detekt/core/baseline/BaselineFormatSpec.kt:61:30: error: cannot access 'BaselineFormat': it is internal in 'io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt.core.baseline'
                val format = BaselineFormat()
                             ^

Running detekt with enabled type resolution will generate one file per source set(I need to correct my original PR summary), hence we need to upload multiple SARIF output to Github, which has not been battled-tested and is not on the official documentation yet.

Therefore, the github workflow I added in this PR uploads the SARIF output from detekt with disabled type resolution.

Thank you for the remark! I understand the current limitations.
