Add service to create vulnerabilities for continuous scanning

Oscar Tovar requested to merge otovar/add-create-vulnerability-service into master

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.

Relates to #371065 (closed)
