Update security tables indices to include sharding key
Related to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/tenant-scale/organizations/organizations-feature-parity/-/work_items/34+.
The following tables should have their indices updated to include the sharding key `project_id` :

## Updated status on non-compliant indexes:
Here is the analysis so far, we may need to update this based on how strict we are about FK relation in few tables:
| # | Table | Index | Columns | Sharding Key | Needs sharding key? | Status | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | sbom_component_versions | `index_sbom_component_versions_on_component_id_and_version` | component_id, version | organization_id | **Yes** | 🔄 In review https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/237371 | `version` is a string, not globally unique |
| 2 | sbom_occurrences | `index_sbom_occurrences_on_uuid` | uuid | project_id | **No** | Not required | `uuid` is a checksum that includes `project_id`, already org-scoped. UUID formula: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/lib/sbom/occurrence_uuid.rb#L6 |
| 3 | sbom_occurrences_vulnerabilities | `i_sbom_occurrences_vulnerabilities_on_occ_id_and_vuln_id` | sbom_occurrence_id, vulnerability_id | project_id | **Yes** (done) | ✅ Merged ([!233025](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/233025)) | Sharding key added in 19.0 |
| 4 | security_scans | `idx_security_scans_on_build_and_scan_type` | build_id, scan_type | project_id | **No** | Not required | `build_id` (PK) is globally unique; the pair is unique per-org |
| 5 | vulnerability_archived_records | `index_vulnerability_archived_records_on_unique_attributes` | vulnerability_identifier, date | project_id | **Yes** (done) | ✅ Merged ([!233500](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/233500)) | `vulnerability_identifier` is a free-form attribute, not globally unique; sharding key needed |
| 6 | vulnerability_external_issue_links | `idx_vulnerability_ext_issue_links_on_vulne_id_and_ext_issue` | vulnerability_id, external_type, external_project_key, external_issue_key | project_id | **No** | Closed because Not required ([!234887](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/234887) - Draft) | `vulnerability_id` is unique per project; the rest narrows further. **MR may not be needed based on this analysis** |
| 7 | vulnerability_external_issue_links | `idx_vulnerability_ext_issue_links_on_vulne_id_and_link_type` | vulnerability_id, link_type | project_id | **No** | Closed because Not required ([!234887](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/234887) - Draft) | `vulnerability_id` is unique per project; the rest narrows further. **MR may not be needed based on this analysis** |
| 8 | vulnerability_finding_due_dates | `index_vulnerability_finding_due_dates_on_occurrence_id` | vulnerability_occurrence_id | project_id | **No** | Not required | `vulnerability_occurrence_id` is a PK, unique per-project |
| 9 | vulnerability_finding_evidences | `finding_evidences_on_unique_vulnerability_occurrence_id` | vulnerability_occurrence_id | project_id | **No** | Not required | `vulnerability_occurrence_id` is a PK |
| 10 | vulnerability_finding_links | `finding_link_occurrence_id_name_url_idx` | vulnerability_occurrence_id, name, url | project_id | **No** | Not required | occurrence_id pins it to a project; name/url just narrow |
| 11 | vulnerability_finding_risk_scores | `index_vulnerability_risk_scores_on_vulnerability_finding` | finding_id | project_id | **No** | Not required | finding_id is unique per-project |
| 12 | vulnerability_finding_signatures | `idx_vuln_signatures_uniqueness_signature_sha` | finding_id, algorithm_type, signature_sha | project_id | **No** | Not required | finding_id anchors to project |
| 13 | vulnerability_findings_remediations | `index_vulnerability_findings_remediations_on_unique_keys` | vulnerability_occurrence_id, vulnerability_remediation_id | project_id | **No** | Not required | both FKs unique per-project |
| 14 | vulnerability_flags | `index_vulnerability_flags_on_unique_columns` | vulnerability_occurrence_id, flag_type, origin | project_id | **No** | Not required | occurrence_id pins to project |
| 15 | vulnerability_identifiers | `index_vulnerability_identifiers_on_id_partition_id` | id, partition_id | project_id | **No** | Not required | PK + partition_id is globally unique |
| 16 | vulnerability_issue_links | `idx_vulnerability_issue_links_on_vulnerability_id_and_issue_id` | vulnerability_id, issue_id | project_id | **No** | Not required | vulnerability_id unique per-project |
| 17 | vulnerability_issue_links | `idx_vulnerability_issue_links_on_vulnerability_id_and_link_type` | vulnerability_id, link_type | project_id | **No** | Not required | vulnerability_id unique per-project |
| 18 | vulnerability_merge_request_links | `unique_vuln_merge_request_link_vuln_id_and_mr_id` | vulnerability_id, merge_request_id | project_id | **No** | Not required | vulnerability_id unique per-project |
| 19 | vulnerability_namespace_historical_statistics | `index_vuln_namespace_historical_statistics_traversal_ids_date` | traversal_ids, date | namespace_id | **Yes** | 🔄 In review https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/237590 | `traversal_ids` is an array; namespace_id makes intent explicit and protects against org-move semantics |
| 20 | vulnerability_namespace_statistics | `index_vuln_namespace_statistics_btree_traversal_ids` | traversal_ids | namespace_id | **Yes** | 🔄 In review https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/238953 | Same as above |
| 21 | vulnerability_occurrence_identifiers | `index_vulnerability_occurrence_identifiers_on_unique_keys` | occurrence_id, identifier_id | project_id | **No** | Not required | Both FKs unique per-project |
| 22 | vulnerability_occurrences | `index_vuln_findings_on_uuid_including_vuln_id_1` | uuid | project_id | **No** | Not required | UUID is a checksum that _includes_ project_id (Brian's point) |
| 23 | vulnerability_reads | `index_vulnerability_reads_on_uuid` | uuid | project_id | **No** | Not required | Same as above |
| 24 | vulnerability_reads | `index_vulnerability_reads_on_vulnerability_id` | vulnerability_id | project_id | **No** | Not required | vulnerability_id unique per-project |
| 25 | vulnerability_reads | `index_vulnerability_reads_on_vulnerability_occurrence_id_unique` | vulnerability_occurrence_id | project_id | **No** | Not required | occurrence_id unique per-project |
| 26 | vulnerability_user_mentions | `index_vulnerability_user_mentions_on_note_id` | note_id | project_id | **Maybe** | 🔄 In review https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/238961 | `note_id` is globally unique (PK on `notes`), so technically safe. But `notes` is polymorphic; **safer to add** |
| 27 | vulnerability_user_mentions | `index_vulns_user_mentions_on_vulnerability_id` | vulnerability_id | project_id | **No** | Not required | vulnerability_id unique per-project |
| 28 | vulnerability_user_mentions | `index_vulns_user_mentions_on_vulnerability_id_and_note_id` | vulnerability_id, note_id | project_id | **No** | Not required | vulnerability_id unique per-project |
