fix(ci): codeql-action v4.38.1 -> v4.38.0 SHA pin + dependabot hold (estate-wide startup_failure) (#136)

## Summary

Estate-wide incident: `github/codeql-action` **v4.38.1** fails GitHub
workflow **startup** on every repo that took it — CodeQL/Hypatia runs
die with `startup_failure`, zero jobs dispatched, no error text in any
API surface. The evidence chain (full detail: **nexia-list#100**):

| repo | ref | status |
|---|---|---|
| nexia-list | `@v4.38.1` tag (via dependabot #94) | 🔴 startup_failure →
fixed by rollback #100 (merged) |
| hypatia | `@1c5b675` (4.38.1 SHA) | 🔴 |
| vexometer | `@v4.38.1` | 🔴 (since Sep-21) |
| rsr-template-repo | `@1c5b675` | 🔴 |
| affinescript / boj-server / deed-ecosystem | ≤ v4.38.0 | ✅ green |

The v4.38.1 tag *exists* (peels to `1c5b675`) and byte-identical
workflow content runs under a fresh path — so the failure is the
**version value itself** at GitHub's start-validation layer, not
content, permissions (probes with `security-events` start fine), or the
default-setup conflict.

## Changes here

- `codeql-reusable.yml`, `hypatia-scan-reusable.yml`: `codeql-action/*`
re-pinned `1c5b675` (v4.38.1) → `b96794f0` (**v4.38.0** commit; wrong `#
v3` comments corrected to `# v4.38.0`).
- `actions.lock`: re-keyed to the v4.38.0 SHA entries (dependabot bumped
the reusable pins without regenerating the lock).
- `dependabot.yml`: **full hold** on `github/codeql-action` — scoped
`versions:` ignores do NOT hold for this bot path (nexia-list#101
re-raised the bump in SHA form within an hour, copying the inline
warning comment verbatim while swapping the SHA).

## Follow-ups

Consumer rollbacks shipped in the same batch: nexia-list (merged ✅),
**hypatia**, **vexometer**, **rsr-template-repo**,
**metadatastician/burble** (each with the same dependabot hold).
Reconsider the hold when upstream clears v4.38.1 or a newer release
verifies green on one canary repo.
