The start-proxy Action currently uses its own getReleaseByVersion function to get hold of the release that we expect to find the proxy assets at. That function has hard-coded owner and repo values for the default github/codeql-action repository. This repository may not be available in all environments. In such environments, getReleaseByVersion fails and we fall-back to the hard-coded release obtained from getFallbackUrl instead.

Broadly, this PR does the following:

• getCodeQLActionRepository and getCodeQLBundleDownloadURL are refactored out of setup-codeql into a new setup/repository module.
• We then use getCodeQLAssetDownloadURL (renamed from getCodeQLBundleDownloadURL) in the start-proxy action to apply the same logic for finding a suitable release as used by setup-codeql.
• The hard-coded fallback has been removed. The default URL returned by getCodeQLBundleDownloadURL is essentially equivalent, except that it uses the linked version rather than a hard-coded one. We have been shipping proxy artifacts successfully with releases for a good while now, so the fallback shouldn't be needed anymore.

There are some drive-by improvements to logging and assertions for sinon stubs.
