Address all errors reported by CodeQL as reported on https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/security/quality.
This is a mixed bag, with some harmless issues, while others are severe problems which will result in the code breaking (if it is even run). I suspect some of the more severe problems were found in dead code that is not used at all -- hence nobody noticed.
Still, these issues are good to fix, so we can reduce noise in the reports and improve the maintainability of the code.
Code cleanup, no backport
