Use cpp as CodeQL Language

• I reviewed the Contributing Guide.

Describe the bug
The codeql-reusable.yml workflow uses C as the language, which is not a valid option. It should be cpp instead.

Expected behavior
Use cpp as the CodeQL language.

@ArielSAdamsNASA - Would it be better to change it to "cpp" or just remove the "languages" parameter entirely and let CodeQL auto-detect?

[ArielSAdamsNASA]

@thnkslprpt I would prefer to use cpp. That way we don't have to check the workflow several times to ensure the correct language is used across multiple repos. If we let CodeQL auto-detect, we would get a note that goes something like this: "We have attempted to detect the languages in your repository. Please check the language matrix defined below to confirm you have the correct set of supported CodeQL languages." If you have additional questions about CodeQL specifically, you may ask the developers at github/codeql-action.

@thnkslprpt I would prefer to use cpp...
Ah OK I get you. Yeah I thought it was strange that CodeQL supports all C standards, but doesn't allow it as a language option to be input for that parameter.
Is this is all that needs to be changed?: main...thnkslprpt:cFS:patch-1

@thnkslprpt Looks good! All that needs to be done is to create a pull request. Here is more information on how to create PRs in our Contributing Guide if needed.

@ArielSAdamsNASA OK no worries. Just wanted to check before I created the pull request.
