CodeQL: exclude libtest demos and src/proxy from scanning

libtest/ holds demo callback samples that aren't part of libhttrack, and
src/proxy/ is ProxyTrack, a separate legacy binary with no auth surface whose
recv/cache-parse code trips the taint queries by design. Together they account
for ~26 alerts that are false-positive or by-design. Exclude both so the
dashboard tracks the engine, where the queries earn their keep.

Genuine bugs found in that code are fixed on their own, independent of scanning.
