Keep the CodeQL Action versions aligned.

github/codeql-action/init uses v4.38.1, while github/codeql-action/analyze uses v4.38.0. Mixed CodeQL Action versions are unsupported. The init step warns about the mismatch, and a later step can fail when it loads configuration generated by the different init version. Align analyze with v4.38.1.
