Deprecate sorting vulnerabilities by title on GraphQL API

Why are we doing this work

As we are trying to improve the performance and user experience of our vulnerability report pages, we've decided to remove the functionality of sorting the list by the title of the vulnerabilities to make it easier to apply performance improvements. Therefore, we are going to remove the support of sorting by title on our GraphQL API for the vulnerabilities type.

In this issue, we will announce the deprecation of the title_desc, and title_asc sort parameters per our deprecation policy.

Deprecating this functionality will not improve the performance on its own but will be a supportive action for the #335326 (closed).

The importance of this feature has been discussed with the PM here: #335326 (comment 620039533).

For more information about the performance issues we are facing, you can check #327607 (closed).
