Summary
Add a new dataflow analysis implementation, which provides a framework for sophisticated static analysis of build pipeline specifications (including GitHub Actions workflows, Bash shell scripts). Replaces the existing analysis for callgraph and build command identification.
Description of changes
Adds new dataflow analysis implementation. Removes previous callgraph representation and analysis. Updates checks to use new analysis for identification of build commands. Updates unit tests to work with the changes. Adds two new dependencies: lark (parser library used to implement parsing of GitHub expression language) and frozendict (data structure library used within dataflow analysis where hashable dicts are needed).
