Research direction

Start with the A1-1-2.1 test and responsefile.cpp. Inspect how the testing framework discovers and processes response files, then verify the options in responsefile.cpp are no longer skipped. The test is done when the response-file behavior is exercised by the rule test.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The test for rule A1-1-2.1 has a QL test for response files

https://github.com/github/codeql-coding-standards/blob/22c2da30db0c2de491c61cae397f1f537691d042/cpp/autosar/test/rules/A1-1-2.1/responsefile.cpp#L1

This is non-functional, as our testing framework skips over any file that doesn't have a common C or C++ extension. Hence, any options in the response file is ignored.
