Ensure --overwrite flag is only passed once #2245

This fixes a bug where if CODEQL_ACTION_EXTRA_OPTIONS specified that --overwrite should be passed to database init, the --overwrite argument would be passed twice, leading to an error.

To accomplish this, I introduce an ignoringOptions argument to specify options in CODEQL_ACTION_EXTRA_OPTIONS that should be ignored. It would be nice to have a general solution that didn't require specifying which options should be ignored, but the problem with that is that it does make sense to pass some flags more than once.

Makes sense — did you include --expect-discarded-cache because that's another obvious one that should only be passed once? I wonder if that one should also be part of the changenote (though I guess then the note would need to be more generalized so we don't have to write a note each time we pass ignoringOptions).

I had a quick scan through and that was the most obvious other one to add. I'll just include --overwrite in the changelog note though as I don't think we've advised customers to specify --expect-discarded-cache manually.
