For a call to a library function we add a taint-step from the arguments to the return value.
Might be helpful for quickly debugging some missing taint flows.
Also adds a meta query for counting potential unmodelled steps
(See thread on #codeql-dynamic from Jun 8th).
I've tried to enable these steps on a few queries on

.The analysis still terminated, so it seems to scale.
