Extension does not properly start when no CodeQL CLI is found

Empieza por el flujo de inicio de la extensión, el manejo de la ruta del ejecutable de CodeQL CLI y la ruta de comprobación de actualizaciones descrita en la reproducción. Reproduce el problema con una ruta de CLI no válida y con la carpeta de descargas eliminada; después, inspecciona los logs y el comportamiento del comando «CodeQL: Quick query». Se considera terminado cuando el inicio informa de que falta la CLI, respeta una ruta configurada y la acción de instalación funciona sin requerir un cambio de configuración.

Describe the bug
It looks like when no CodeQL CLI is found on start up the extension does not start properly. This is noticable as:

• No "CodeQL" / "CodeQL CLI v ..." is shown in the bottom right corner
• CodeQL CLI is not downloaded automatically? See #900
• Once an extension config change is made, the extension seems to start properly, downloading CodeQL CLI; even if the config change was specifying a custom CodeQL CLI executable path

Edit: Might only occur when update check was performed recently and the following was logged:

Didn't perform CodeQL CLI update check since a check was already performed within the previous 86400 seconds.

To reproduce
Prerequisites:
Extension is already installed and the default CodeQL CLI has been downloaded by the extension already.

1. Open the CodeQL extension settings (@ext:github.vscode-codeql)
2. Change "CodeQL > CLI: Executable Path" to an invalid path
3. Restart VSCode
4. Trigger loading of extensions, e.g. by clicking on CodeQL icon on the left sidebar
   ❌ Notice how neither an error dialog is shown, nor does the "CodeQL" info text in the bottom right corner appear.
   The logs show that the extension failed finding the CodeQL CLI.
   ℹ️ Only in case you had not downloaded CodeQL CLI yet and the executable path is empty it shows the error "The CodeQL CLI could not be found."
5. Run an extension command such as "CodeQL: Quick query"; on the error message click "Install CodeQL CLI"
   ❌ Nothing happens
6. Stop VSCode
7. Open the CodeQL CLI download folder; on Windows %appdata%\Code\User\globalStorage\github.vscode-codeql
8. Delete or rename the distribution folder
9. Start VSCode again
10. Open the CodeQL extension settings (@ext:github.vscode-codeql)
11. Change "CodeQL > CLI: Executable Path" to any non-empty path
    ❌ Instead of checking whether the CodeQL CLI exists at the specified path, the extension starts downloading the default CodeQL CLI

Expected behavior
The extension should properly start even without CodeQL CLI; all the incorrect behavior described above (marked with ❌) should not happen.
