This created unexpected behavior with a workflow calling `codeql-action/analyze` locally. Therefore, be more conservative with parsing inputs from workflows and refuse to parse jobs that don't call the specified Action exactly once.
This isn't severe enough to appear on the Actions summary.

We encountered some unexpected behavior with a workflow that called
codeql-action/analyzelocally. The workflow parsing code couldn't resolve the local call to the CodeQL Action, and erroneously returned the default values of each input. This meant that we uploaded a failed SARIF file when we shouldn't have.This PR adds a regression test for this case, and changes the workflow parsing code to be more conservative. Now we only upload a failed SARIF file when the current job calls the relevant Action exactly once in the workflow file.
No changelog needed since this functionality hasn't been rolled out yet.
