ci: add shared security scanning workflow

[opentelemetrybot]

Tracked in open-telemetry/sig-security#293.

Adds zizmor scanning through the OpenTelemetry shared workflow.

The workflow:

• runs the regular persona on pull requests, pushes to main, and a randomized weekly schedule;
• uploads results to GitHub code scanning;
• uses the shared workflow pinned to an immutable commit.

After merge

1. Confirm the Zizmor workflow succeeds on the merged default-branch commit and its code-scanning analysis has no findings.
2. Mark the corresponding admin PR ready for review and merge it to require zizmor code scanning.
3. On the next repository pull request, confirm GitHub reports a required zizmor code-scanning result.

If enforcement unexpectedly blocks a valid change, restore require_zizmor = false in open-telemetry/admin while leaving scanning enabled.

What Enabling Code Scanning Means:

• The 'Security' tab will display more code scanning analysis results (e.g., for the default branch).
• Depending on your configuration and choice of analysis tool, future pull requests will be annotated with code scanning analysis results.
• You will be able to see the analysis results for the pull request's branch on this overview once the scans have completed and the checks have passed.

Pull request overview

Adds a repository-level GitHub Actions workflow to run Zizmor via the OpenTelemetry shared reusable workflow and upload SARIF to GitHub code scanning, aligning with the security-scanning rollout tracked in open-telemetry/sig-security#293.

Changes:

• Introduces a new zizmor workflow triggered on PRs, pushes to main, a weekly schedule, and manual dispatch, calling the shared workflow pinned to an immutable commit.
• Hardens the existing FOSSA workflow by disabling persisted GitHub credentials in the checkout step.
