[POC] ci: Skip compilation when running static code analysis #32953

   This PR is a proof of concept for using a compilation database with static analysis tools such as clang-tidy or IWYU. The idea was suggested in #32662 (comment):

   Shouldn’t this be excluded in the tidy CI task as well?

   Additionally, this PR makes use of the codegen target, following the suggestion in #32662 (comment):

   It does seem nice to be able to run clang-tidy on generated files… Maybe more ideally there could be … target like make --build build -t codegen that only runs code generation steps and doesn’t compile the sources.

   A few tasks remain to be addressed. Here’s the current TODO list:

   • Implement the codegen target for CMake versions older than 3.31.
   • Handle files generated by the mpgen tool.
   • Handle files generated by Qt tools.
   • Enable RUN_CHECK_DEPS=true elsewhere.

   While #31965 is still under discussion, it may make sense to move this CI job to GHA to provide quicker feedback.

   this was done in the past, but it makes bisecting harder, because those images (and their package mirrors) quickly get deleted upstream

   It seems fine to wait a few months until the 26.04 tag is available and then just use that. Also, it seems fine to just require cmake 3.31 (or higher) if anyone wants to use the codegen target, but no strong opinion.
