security: add CodeQL workflow and patch unsafe pointer usage

- .github/workflows/codeql.yml: Add explicit CodeQL workflow to apply config exclusion for 'patches/'
- client/.../gstring_builder.rs: Add null check before pointer deref copy
- client/.../value.rs: Add null checks in unsafe copy/clear functions
- Fixes persistent CodeQL invalid pointer alerts (#30, #29, #28, etc.)
