Research direction

Start with the linked GitHub Actions run and inspect how the CodeQL action currently selects or restricts runners for Swift. Determine the changes needed for Swift analysis on Ubuntu, then verify that the sample Swift build and CodeQL workflow complete successfully on an Ubuntu runner.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be nice if the CodeQL action could be run on ubuntu runners. The macos runners are incredible slow. For this run it is taking 10 minutes just to build the Swift samples, and there are not that many.
