[henrymercer]

RAM usage with overlay analysis enabled should generally be no higher than it is without overlay analysis for these versions.

Pull request overview

Updates overlay analysis resource checking so that the minimum-memory gating is skipped for CodeQL CLI versions where overlay no longer increases peak RAM usage (2.24.3+).

Changes:

• Introduce a CodeQL version threshold (2.24.3) after which overlay’s minimum-memory check is skipped.
• Refactor overlay resource checks into separate disk-space and memory helpers, with additional debug logging.
• Add regression tests asserting overlay remains enabled on low-memory settings when CodeQL >= 2.24.3.
