What does this MR do?

Adds support for SAST_EXCLUDED_ANALYZERS to the SAST vendored template. We are also maintaining backwards compatible support for SAST_DEFAULT_ANALYZERS during a deprecation period. SAST_DEFAULT_ANALYZERS will be removed in %14.0 with Remove SAST_DEFAULT_ANALYZERS.

SAST_EXCLUDED_ANALYZERS allows customers to specify which SAST analyzers they do not want to run, as opposed to the old way where they would need to use SAST_DEFAULT_ANALYZERS to list all the analyzers they wanted to run.

Configuring SAST in the UI has also been updated to support SAST_EXCLUDED_ANALYZERS while also maintaining backwards compatible support for SAST_DEFAULT_ANALYZERS.

Screenshots (strongly suggested)

Local screenshot of using the updated SAST Configuration UI where the only change was checking/unchecking analyzers. This demonstrates the old SAST_DEFAULT_ANALYZERS variable is read and the SAST_EXCLUDED_ANALYZERS is written.
