.sync/codeql.yml: Use Git long paths on Windows#136

It is a well known limitation that GitHub uses the pattern `<install_dir>/_work/<repo_name>/<repo_name>/` as the working directory on the GitHub workflow agents. It is redundant and particularly impactful on Windows as discussed below: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki/Git-cannot-create-a-file-or-directory-with-a-long-path This especially causes an issue in a Mu repository at the moment (`mu_common_intel_min_platform`) due to its longer name which is repeated twice in the path (as `<repo-name>`). This change is limited to the GitHub CodeQL workflow and was found to resolve the issue encountered and not raise any additional issues in this workflow in testing.

This especially causes an issue in a Mu repository at the moment
(
mu_common_intel_min_platform) due to its longer name which isrepeated twice in the path (as
<repo-name>).This change is limited to the GitHub CodeQL workflow and was found
