securityReportSummary endpoint should not access the artifact

Craig Smith requested to merge fix_timeout_query_330122 into master

What does this MR do?

For some time the scannedResources and scannedResourcesCount of the securityReportSummary have been causing timeouts. The problem stems from the need to retrieve scanned resources from build artifacts which is slow and full described in #322349 (closed)

This was initially dealt with by removing the calls to scannedResources and scannedResourcesCount in !54255 (diffs) however, even without requesting scannedResources and scannedResourcesCount the artifacts were still being downloaded.

This MR removes the expensive operation return unless report_exists?(report_type) which implicitly downloaded the artifacts and replaces it a DB query to check if a Pipeline has security_findings. security_findings are generated from the artifact and so this would not exist if the artifact did not.

This MR relates to #330122 (closed)

The corresponding Front End change !61551 (merged)
