Remove word "new" from security summary message on MR page

What does this MR do?

#231292 (closed) When viewing a MR, after a pipeline runs, the security scanning block will be shown. Previously, it showed the phrase:

Security scanning detected x new critical and x new high severity vulnerabilities

Security scanning block Expanded security scanning block
ksnip_20200728-000035 ksnip_20200728-000002

However, the numbers are for the total number of vulnerabilities found in the project, not just new ones. The word new makes it sound like the vulnerabilities were introduced in the current MR, which is confusing people and making them think their MR introduced a new vulnerability when it hasn't. This MR removes the word new:

ksnip_20200728-002431

Note that we currently do not have the ability to differentiate between new and existing vulnerabilities. We will be adding that feature in later, but for now this MR is to address the immediate concern that it's confusing users.

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
