(I'll update the relevant issues.)

`Variant analysis <https://semmle.com/variant-analysis>`__ is the process of using a known vulnerability as a seed to find similar problems in your code. Security engineers typically perform variant analysis to identify possible vulnerabilities and to ensure that these threats are properly fixed across multiple code bases.

`CodeQL <https://semmle.com/ql>`__ is the code analysis engine that underpins LGTM, Semmle's community driven security analysis platform. Together, CodeQL and LGTM provide continuous monitoring and scalable variant analysis for your projects, even if you don’t have your own team of dedicated security engineers. You can read more about using CodeQL and LGTM in variant analysis in the `Semmle blog <https://blog.semmle.com/tags/variant-analysis>`__.

This change isn't an exact match (blog posts with the variant analysis tag), but I thought it was close enough...
Happy to revert if need be!

Thanks! This all LGTM.

I guess the next task is to change the links from QL4E to CodeQL for VS Code. I haven't heard anything about changing the databases on downloads.lgtm.com, so I'll start pestering people.

Related: https://github.com/github/security-lab still links to blog.semmle.com. I'll create a security lab issue for that.
