Would be nice if you could list the valid options here. Or maybe provide a link to the documentation (or both).

I'm hesitant to list the options because it duplicates where we have to make a documentation change if we modify them later. Have added a link to the CLI docs, though.

This PR does two things that should facilitate user workflows that want to upload CodeQL databases somewhere:
analyzestep are cleaned up at the end of the step (i.e. items that are not needed to run further queries like evaluation logs and the cache are removed). The level of cleanup performed is configurable via a new parameter of theanalyzestep. I don't think we should expose this in user-facing documentation as most users will just want the default, but it may be useful for internal debugging to have an option there.analyzestep now has an output,db-locationsthat contains a JSON object mapping from languages that a CodeQL database was created for to the location of this database on disk. I've modified one of the PR checks to use this to verify that it is populated correctly.Merge / deployment checklist
