Add service to create vulnerabilities for continuous scanning
What does this MR do and why?
The create vulnerability service takes a single report finding and transforms it
so that it can be inserted as a vulnerability. This will be used in the context
of continuous vulnerability scanning, where GitLab will begin to continuous
monitor existing software components for new vulnerabilities. The new
CreateVulnerabilityService class has some critical differences from the
IngestReportService. Mainly, the new class, does not require any
Security::Findings, and it will only create new vulnerabilities.
