What does this MR do and why?

Epic: Build a Ruby gem to perform secrets regex match... (&11612 - closed)

This MR adds the regex scanning logic that checks for leaked secrets.

To perform regex matching on git blobs that may include secrets, we are creating a gem that will be included as a dependency in GitLab main codebase (gitlab-org/gitlab). This dependency will accept one or more git blobs, match them against a defined ruleset of regular expressions (based on gitleaks.toml used by secrets analyzer), and return scan results.

Resolves Create a new gem (#426823 - closed)
