Python: Add consistency check for PhaseDependentFlow

This would have found the problem in
https://github.com/github/codeql/pull/15755.

As highlighted in the comment in the code, it's not a perfect solution
since we don't have an automatic way to ensure we don't introduce a new
PhaseDependentFlow use with a new step relation and forget to add it to
this consistency check... but I think this consistency check still adds
value!
