Update CodeQL configuration and analysis settings

- Added new paths and updated ignore patterns in `codeql-config.yml`.
- Reformatted schedule and changed `fail-fast` strategy in `codeql-analysis.yml`.
- Added step to set up .NET 9 for analysis.
- Removed exclusion list and specified config file directly for CodeQL initialization.
