Descripción

**Description of the false positive**

CodeQL falsely detects a cyclic import in a Pull request.

* There is an existing cyclic import in the code which is mitigated with an import inside of a function.
> toolopts imports global variables from systeminfo inside of `_register_options()`
> systeminfo imports toolopts
* The pull request includes switching the python modules that the identifiers are being defined in and reversing the imports so that only one module has to import the other
> toolopts now implements the global variables
> toolopts no longer imports systeminfo at all
> systeminfo now imports the global variables from toolopts
