Backport of 'Fix 500 when fetching vulnerability notes via REST API'
What does this MR do and why?
Fix 500 when fetching vulnerability notes via REST API. Discovered through incident https://gitlab.enterprise.slack.com/archives/C0BNGLQ8GAF
This is a scoped backport to 19.1 of the fix from !244620 (merged).
Details
The vulnerability notes endpoints (/projects/:id/vulnerabilities/:noteable_id/notes) returned HTTP 500 with "RuntimeError: no policy for Vulnerabilities::Read".
NotesFinder#target resolves vulnerabilities through the vulnerability_reads table and returns a Vulnerabilities::Read record, which has no DeclarativePolicy class, so the notes permission check raised instead of returning a decision.
Override find_noteable to map the Vulnerabilities::Read back to its Vulnerability before the permission check runs.
Changelog: fixed EE: true
