Ignore test and docs folders in dependency scanning

Dennis Appelt requested to merge da-ignore-test-dirs-for-depscanning into master

What does this MR do?

This change tweaks the dependency scanning configuration to ignore test and doc folders. In consequence, the dependency scanning report will not report vulnerable dependencies in these folders. Because such dependencies are not shipped with GitLab (i.e. do not land in our Omnibus distribution), we consider these findings to be false positives.

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
