Add the FedRAMP::Vulnerability label to the standard AppSec triage labels

James Hebden requested to merge jhebden-add-fedramp-label-appsec-process into master

Why is this change being made?

The ~FedRAMP::Vulnerability label has been introduced to help in tracking vulnerabilities across GitLab, to aid in FedRAMP compliance initiatives.

As part of the AppSec triage process for vulnerabilities identified by scanners, the bugvulnerability and security labels are added, and it would be helpful to add ~FedRAMP::Vulnerability as part of this process to ensure vulnerabilities in GitLab maintained application codebases fall into scope for FedRAMP compliance initiatives and related reporting.

This helps team members involved in FedRAMP compliance & reporting accurately identify in-scope vulnerabilities and lessens the amount of manual work required in performing FedRAMP compliance tasks.
