Release summary

New queries added for the following rule packages: Language2, Preprocessor6
The following changes have been made for this release:
Add the Python scripts under scripts/guideline_recategorization and the JSON schemas under schemas.
Add the Python scripts under scripts/shared relied upon by the analysis report generation.
EXP30-C - DependenceOnOrderOfFunctionArgumentsForSideEffects.ql:
- Prefer the GlobalValueNumbering CodeQL library over the GlobalValueNumberingImpl library, as the former yields higher quality results and the latter is going to be deprecated. This also improves performance when multiple queries are evaluated, due to more sharing of intermediate computations.
EXP50-CPP - DoNotDependOnTheOrderOfEvaluationForSideEffectsInFunctionCallsAsFunctionArguments.ql:
- Prefer the GlobalValueNumbering CodeQL library over the GlobalValueNumberingImpl library, as the former yields higher quality results and the latter is going to be deprecated. This also improves performance when multiple queries are evaluated, due to more sharing of intermediate computations.
