Pull Request Overview
This PR restricts a CodeQL query to only analyze source literals rather than compiled bytecode literals. The change addresses performance issues caused by literals extracted from .class files that contain many control characters, which can cause the query to become inefficient while providing limited value.
- Adds a filter to restrict analysis to source compilation units only
- Adds documentation explaining why Kotlin files are excluded to prevent false positives

Some literals extracted from
.classfiles can contain many control chars, which can cause this query to blow up. Those results are pretty useless, so we can simply exclude them.
