[Buildroot] [PATCH 09/10] support/scripts/{pkg-stats, cve.py, cve-checker}: support CPE ID based matching

This commit modifies cve.py, as well as its users cve-checker and
pkg-stats to support CPE ID based matching, for packages that have CPE
ID information.

One of the non-trivial thing is that we can't simply iterate over all
CVEs, and then iterate over all our packages to see which packages
have CPE ID information that match the CPEs affected by the
CVE. Indeed, this is an O(n^2) operation.

So instead, we do a pre-filtering of packages potentially affected. In
check_package_cves(), we build a cpe_product_pkgs dict that associates
a CPE product name to the packages that have this CPE product
name. The CPE product name is either derived from the CPE information
provided by the package if available, and otherwise we use the package
name, which is what was used prior to this patch.

And then, when we look at CVEs, we only consider the packages that
have a CPE product name matching the CPE products affected by the
CVEs. This is done in check_package_cve_affects().

Note that there is a bit of duplication of logic between cve-checker
and pkg-stats, but we intend in a follow-up series to re-unify those
two scripts.
