The LLVM/Clang developers pointed out that using the CPP to detect use of functions that our QA policies prohibit risks invoking undefined behavior. To resolve this, we configure CodeQL to detect forbidden function usage. Note that cpp in the context of CodeQL refers to C/C++, rather than the C PreProcessor, which C++ also uses. It really should have been written cxx, but that ship sailed a long time ago. This misuse of the term cpp is retained in the CodeQL configuration for consistency with upstream CodeQL. As a side benefit, verbose make no longer is a wall of text showing a bunch of CPP macros, which can make debugging slightly easier.

Motivation and Context
The LLVM/Clang developers pointed out that using the CPP to detect use of functions that our QA policies prohibit risks invoking undefined behavior.
Description
We remove the CPP macros from automake in favor of adding a custom CodeQL query.
How Has This Been Tested?
I have tested this in my fork of the openzfs/zfs github repository with an experimental patch that added strncpy() to the codebase:
The issue was detected and the appropriate message was shown in the security tab. I did not test a PR to see what would be displayed, but I assume that the message would also show there, just as it does for the stock CodeQL queries. I can push a test commit to this PR to verify that if people feel it is necessary.
