Add usage statistics for modsecurity for packets/anomalous

What does this MR do?

Related to #32358 (closed)

In this MR we are adding new usage statistics for WAF:

  • modsecurity_statistics_unavailable - number of environments where statistics for WAF are not available
  • modsecurity_packets_processed
  • modsecurity_packets_anomalous

Currently this change only measures applications installed using GitLab Managed Apps and does not take into account apps installed using GitLab CI/CD (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/clusters/applications.html#install-using-gitlab-cicd-alpha). I will work to add these in my next MRs.
