Add 'source-root' input to init action

This input is exposed in the CodeQL CLI as the flag --source-root, allowing users of the CLI to set --source-root different from --working-dir. However, in codeql-action, these two paths are conflated and it poses problems for users with complicated build environments, in which a source root may be a child of the working directory. Most users should not notice this, as the default value is ${{ github.workspace }}, as it is implied now (`path.resolve()`).
