Use the SCIO Pipeline Mechanism for Importers/Improvers

[keshav-space]

We should adopt/reuse the pipeline mechanism in SCIO for Importers and Improvers.
With this, we would have a common programming model across tools, including ScanCode.io and PurlDB

• RFC: Adopt scancode.io "pipeline" approach for visit/map/collect  purldb#521

Migrate the improvers to aboutcode.pipeline:

• vulnerabilities/improvers/valid_versions.py
• vulnerabilities/improvers/vulnerability_kev.py
• vulnerabilities/improvers/vulnerability_status.py
• vulnerabilities/improvers/default.py merge this as a step in new importer pipeline
  • Completed in Add base pipeline for importers and migrate PyPa importer to aboutcode pipeline #1559
  • This is now available as a import_new_advisories step in VulnerableCodeBaseImporterPipeline.
