Python: Disable standard library extraction on GHES by henrymercer · Pull Request #3794 · github/codeql-action

This has been the CLI default for some time now that Python analysis contains models of the standard library. However due to the default value of the feature flag we have been manually enabling standard library extraction on GHES.

This PR cleans up that feature and removes the override logic.
