Develop a `zizmor` GitHub Action

[ncoghlan]

It would be handy if https://github.com/woodruffw/zizmor?tab=readme-ov-file#use-in-github-actions linked to a GitHub action in this repo which ran zizmor over the repo whenever any of the files in the workflow folder changed.

In the meantime, I'll submit a PR with a direct link to the upload-sarif example at https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning/integrating-with-code-scanning/uploading-a-sarif-file-to-github#example-workflow-that-runs-the-eslint-analysis-tool

First draft of such a workflow (based on the ESLint one):

name: "Scan workflows"

on:
    pull_request:
      branches:
        - "**"
      paths:
        # Run for changes to *any* workflow file
        - ".github/workflows/*.yml"
    push:
      branches:
        - main

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      # required for all workflows
      security-events: write
      # only required for workflows in private repositories
      actions: read
      contents: read
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          persist-credentials: false

      - name: Install zizmor
        run: cargo install zizmor

      - name: Scan workflows
        run:
          zizmor --format=sarif . | tee workflow-scan.sarif
        env:
          GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    
      - uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v3
        if: always()
        with:
          # Path to SARIF file relative to the root of the repository
          sarif_file: workflow-scan.sarif

Thanks for the issue @ncoghlan! Completely agreed -- ideally there'd be an action hosted within this repo itself so people could do:

- uses: woodruffw/zizmor/action@tag
  with: ...

...and get SARIF, etc. integration right out of the box 🙂

Leaving this open since I still want to build a full-fledged action for zizmor, but the docs now include an example annotated workflow based on the one @ncoghlan and @colindean
contributed!

What does a user see when they cannot use code scanning but try to use the tools that upload the SARIF file to GH?
