Adds a starter workflow for gha-shield — a code-scanning Action that scans
.github/workflows/*.ymlfor 13 categorized security rules.Why this might be useful for the catalog
The existing code-scanning catalog focuses on application code (SAST for JS/Python/Java/Ruby/Go, container scanning, dependency scanning). gha-shield fills a different gap: scanning the workflow YAMLs themselves. Most repos accumulate workflow vulnerabilities (unpinned actions, command injection via `${{ github.event.* }}`, missing `permissions:`, hardcoded keys in `env:`, etc.) that no SAST tool covers.

Happy to iterate on the starter content, the properties JSON, or the icon — let me know what fits best.
