Systemd/.lgtm/cpp-queries/PotentiallyDangerousFunction.ql
Evgeny Vereshchagin 7ba5ded9db lgtm: replace the query used for looking for fgets with a more general query
to make it easier to comlain about `strtok` :-)

Inspired by https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11963, which, in turn,
was prompted by https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11555.
