Hack to avoid CodeQL CLI v2.12.3

[charisk]

(Paired with @robertbrignull)

CodeQL CLI v2.12.3 was released with a bug that causes the extension to fail so we force the extension to ignore it.

Raising the PR against main for now, but we might need to target a different branch.

The CHANGELOG will need to be updated.

Minor:

Suggested change

	extensionSpecificRelease &&
	extensionSpecificRelease.name === "v2.12.3"
	extensionSpecificRelease?.name === "v2.12.3"

It looks like at this point, we are guaranteed that 2.12.2 was not chosen since it is already being filtered out in this.getLatestRelease(). Is that true?

[charisk]

extensionSpecificRelease is installed version though I think. So basically this is for the scenario where the user is already on v2.12.3.

Do you mean 2.12.2 or 2.12.3?

I agree it should be the case that latestRelease cannot be 2.12.3 since it should be considered incompatible and get filtered out. Even if you're already on 2.12.3 it'll report 2.12.2 as the latest.

Do you mean 2.12.2 or 2.12.3?

Yes. :)

Happy with the manual testing.

This should probably be cherry-picked to a branch based off of the latest release.

We are instead going to revert the relevant PRs and release from main.
