Pull request overview
This PR updates the repository’s CodeQL configuration to reduce noise from crypto-related CodeQL queries when analyzing the repo’s own cryptography implementations and interop layers, while preserving alerts for crypto consumers elsewhere in the repo.
Changes:
- Adds query exclusions for several crypto-related CodeQL rules when scanning specific cryptography implementation/interop paths.
- Documents the rationale for excluding these rules in implementation code while keeping them enabled for consumer code.

We don't want crypto-related CodeQL rules running over the crypto code itself. Those rules are meant for consumers of crypto and are not appropriate to run over crypto implementations or interop code. We scope the exclusions so that crypto consumers still receive alerts.
