This teaches the autobuilder about a new environment variable
LGTM_INDEX_XML_MODE, which can be eitherdisabled(the default) orall. The latter causes all.xmlfiles under$LGTM_SRCto be extracted. Additional XML extensions can be added via the existingLGTM_INDEX_FILETYPESvariable.The names of the XML modes were chosen for consistency with Java, though unfortunately that means they don't align well with the names of the TypeScript modes. We could allow
noneandfullas aliases fordisabledandallif desired (@asger-semmle, what do you think?).Like the C# and Java autobuilder, we perform the actual extraction by delegating to
odasa index --xml. This means that currently XML extraction does not respectinclude,excludeandfilters. It absolutely should, but it's a bit of a non-trivial change which will have to come later.No change note in this PR, since end users aren't expected to set this environment variable directly. This feature will be documented when support for the corresponding
lgtm.ymlflag has been added.
