Daniel Turull 7ba5e4b416 improve_kernel_cve_report: add script for postprocesing of kernel CVE data
Adding postprocessing script to process data from linux CNA that includes more accurate metadata and it is updated directly by the source.

Example of enhanced CVE from a report from cve-check:

{

  "status": "Ignored",
  "link": "https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-26710",
