Description
**Description of the issue**
CodeQL models `CatchClause`s as being part of `TryStmt`s.
I personally find this counter-intuitive since the `{}` braces of the `try {}` block do not enclose the `catch() {}`in any way.
```java
try {
} catch() {
}
```
Here `catch(){}` would be enclosed by `try {}`
```codeql
import java
from CatchClause c, TryStmt try
where c.getEnclosingStmt() = try
select c, try
```
