Draft: PoC: Rearchitect Security Configuration table

What does this MR do?

A proof-of-concept for a (slightly) different architecture of the Security Configuration table, for #322624 (closed).

This MR is formed of three commits, and the messages of those commits tell the story. I recommend reading them, and reviewing this MR commit-by-commit.

In broad strokes, these three commits:

  1. Add pinning tests to lock down the complete behaviour of the current implementation
  2. Add the new implementation alongside the current one
  3. Flip a flag to swap the current implementation for the new, and update the snapshot/pin tests, demonstrating they're functionally the same.
