Secure UI & Doc Text Updates - Change terminology of "Report type" to "Scan type"
Problem to solve
Currently, we refer to our security scanners (SAST, DAST, Container Scanning, Dependency Scanning, Secret Detection) as Report type
in the UI and GitLab docs (example here). With the addition of exportable security reports on all dashboards (instance-, group-, and project-level), and upcoming work on scanner-specific reports, we need to differentiate between reports
and scanners
.

Proposal
Change "Report type" to "Scan type" in UI and docs.
Implementation Plan
-
Note: gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/32370 is WIP to port the standalone vulnerability page - once it has been merged the copy change will have to be done here as well -
Find and replace for any mentions of "report type" to "scan type" (We may have missed some though this thread seems to have captured them all) -
Update any screenshots in the documentation that mention "report type" https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/security_dashboard/
