Secure workers use a dedicated queue

Cameron Swords requested to merge secure-workers-use-secure-queue into master

What does this MR do?

Asynchronous workers maintained by the Secure Group are assigned their own sidekiq queue: security_scans. Current Secure workers have been moved from the pipeline_default queue to the security_scans queue. The queue has a medium priority, which is lower than the previous queue's high priority. Evidence to justify this priority change is detailed in a comment below.

This work was requested in a MR for another piece of worker that contained a Secure worker !23669 (comment 280383086).
