ci: pin every codeql-action step to v4.37.7 - #74

Dependabot cannot fix this, and its two open PRs prove it. It raises one PR per action path, so init and analyze move independently — but CodeQL requires them to be the exact same version, not merely the same major. Bumping init to v4.37.6 (#68) left analyze on v3.28.1, and #69 then failed with Loaded a configuration file for version '4.37.6', but running version '4.37.7' because by the time it was recreated the target had moved again. Neither PR can be green while the other is open, no matter the order they merge in. So all three uses go to v4.37.7 in one commit: init and analyze in codeql.yml, and upload-sarif in scorecard.yml, which was on the same stale pin. Keeping them on one line means the next bump is one decision instead of a race between three. Supersedes #69.

What this does
