### Version
CodeQL CLI version: 2.5.7

### Description
When a [repeatable](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/16/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/annotation/Repeatable.html) annotation is used multiple times on an element (therefore creating an implicit container annotation), the respective `Annotation` elements have no source location.
This prevents writing queries reasoning about the location of these annotations, and also renders them unusable for query result output. Similarly they are not displayed in the AST viewer of the CodeQL VSCode extension either.

### Reproduction steps
1. Create a Java database for the following source code
```java
import java.lang.annotation.*;

class RepeatableAnnotationTest {
@Repeatable(Markers.class)
@interface Marker { }

@interface Markers {
Marker[] value();
}

// These don't have source locations
@Marker
@Marker
String implicitContainer;

// Though explicitly using a container annotation works
// The @Marker annotations have source locations
@Markers({
@Marker,
@Marker
})
String explicitContainer;
}
```
2. Run this CodeQL query:
```ql
import java

from Annotation a
where a.getCompilationUnit().fromSource()
select a
```
:x: The annotations with implicit container annotation have no source location; they do not appear in the result set

Note however, that for the implicit container annotation itself the current behavior of not having a source location is expected and desired (to differentiate between implicit and explicit container annotations).
