Paolo Tranquilli 42e41c57d4 Go: fix standalone build of the Go extractor
https://github.com/github/codeql/pull/21276 worked together with the
internal changes but broke the standalone build of the Go extractor of
this repo in isolation.

The root cause was the lack of an auto-loaded `java_library` rule
definition. This fixes it.

I also checked this doesn't happen anywhere else.

Go analysis support for CodeQL

This sub-folder contains the extractor, CodeQL libraries, and queries that power Go support for CodeQL.

It contains two major components:

  • an extractor, itself written in Go, that parses Go source code and converts it into a database that can be queried using CodeQL.
  • static analysis libraries and queries written in CodeQL that can be used to analyze such a database to find coding mistakes or security vulnerabilities.

Usage

To analyze a Go codebase, either use the CodeQL command-line interface to create a database yourself, or download a pre-built database from GitHub.com. You can then run any of the queries contained in this repository either on the command line or using the VS Code extension.
