Improvements

• The codeql database finalize command now accepts the --working-dir
  flag. When specified, any extractor pre-finalize scripts will be run in
  that directory. If the flag is not used, the scripts will run in the source
  root directory (maintaining existing behavior). The flag will also be
  automatically passed through when running the higher-level
  codeql database create command.
