Description

Hey friends, I have quite a large C++ database:

```
codeql database print-baseline -- ${CODEQL_DATABASE_DIR}
Counted a baseline of 27711380 lines of code for cpp.
```

Before running scans, I normally run some simple diagnostic queries to make sure the database looks fine. The queries look for things like:
* Files
* `FunctionCall`s
* `IfStmt`s

When I run these queries on this large database, I get this

```
codeql database analyze ${CODEQL_DATABASE_DIR} --format=sarif-latest --output=calls.sarif ${CODEQL_QUERIES}/qlpacks/cpp-queries/diagnostics/FunctionCalls.ql
Running queries.
[1/1 comp 7.8s] Compiled [...]/qlpacks/cpp-queries/diagnostics/FunctionCalls.ql.
Files.ql: [1/1 eval 36s] Results written to cpp-queries/diagnostics/FunctionCalls.bqrs.
Shutting down query evaluator.
Interpreting results.
Will not interpret file coverage baseline information, since the total number of baseline files is 153738, which is greater than the limit of 50000.
```

The exit code is 0 but `calls.sarif` is empty.

When I run queries from the standard C++ pack, I get the same message.

What does this limit mean? Is there any way to increase it? I didn't find anything either in the docs or in this repo unfortunately, may be missing something though. Thanks!
