#20934
This is tied to https://github.com/fleetdm/vulnerabilities/pull/14; for
supported OS versions (currently Amazon Linux 1/2/2022/2023) we'll pull
XZ'd sqlite files from the vulnerabilities repo and query them to
determine what's vulnerable. See the associated issue for how I
self-QA'd this.
This replaced OVAL parsing for Amazon Linux 2, as we were using the
wrong data source there (Amazon has backported a bunch of fixes to their
own-named releases, so any RHEL fixes don't match).
Some checklist items are missing here; getting this set up in draft to
get code feedback now, and I'll push updates with e.g. docs changes, as
well ass an addition to the changes file.

Feature: Improve our capability to detect vulnerable software on Ubuntu hosts
To improve the capability of detecting vulnerable software on Ubuntu, we are now using OVAL definitions to detect vulnerable software on Ubuntu hosts. If data sync is enabled (disable_data_sync=false) OVAL definitions are automatically kept up to date (they are 'refreshed' once per day) - there's also the option to manually download the OVAL definitions using the 'fleetctl vulnerability-data-stream' command. Downloaded definitions are then parsed into an intermediary format and then used to identify vulnerable software on Ubuntu hosts. Finally, any 'recent' detected vulnerabilities are sent to any third-party integrations.
