The codeql workflow will attempting to locate Packages by finding folders ending with pkg and then attempting to find a .dsc located within that folder. For repos without any valid pkgs, the codeql workflow will generate an empty matrix. Adding a package_count variable to differentiate this scenario and gate creating and empty matrix. Most repos list the codeql Analyze task as a required check. With an empty matrix, this would fail. Skipping the Analyze task would result in a pending check that will never execute. Modify the codeql to create an empty sarif file when the package_count is zero and upload this. This will allow the Analyze step to run and pass CI when a repo contains no valid packages that can have results uploaded. This is being handled in this manor to allow the same CI checks to exist for repos which still contain a valid release/202502 branch, and a release/202511 branch which deprecates the repo.
