Update vulnerability_reads scanner in the ingestion pipeline

What does this MR do and why?

The bug fix is being backported as it was requested by a customer here and the fix is small and fairly low risk

As described in the original MR into the default branch, the scanner data can be inconsistent between the vulnerability_reads and vulnerability_occurrences tables for the same vulnerability.

This should never be the case, as they should always be referring to the same data. This is because vulnerability_reads is just a de-normalized read-optimized table containing heavily read data from the vulnerability and vulnerability_finding models

The scanner reference is being properly updated for the finding in the finding_map class.

This change makes it so that the existing vulnerability_reads is also updated with a new scanner reference
