Add GUAC support

[PradyumnaKrishna]

Description
Graph for Understanding Artifact Composition (GUAC) aggregates software security metadata into a high fidelity graph database—normalizing entity identities and mapping standard relationships between them. This issues aims to add GUAC support, enable in-toto to parse, query and retrieve attestations from the knowledge graph. Enable querying GUAC with a PURL (Package URL) and retrieve all relevant attestations for a specific artifact.

Hello @PradyumnaKrishna, I am interested to contribute in this issue.

I have few questions - How do you envision the integration of GUAC support into in-toto? Will there be modifications to the existing codebase to support parsing, querying, and retrieving attestations from the GUAC knowledge graph?

@PradyumnaKrishna, it feels a bit fishy to add attestation retrieval functionality to a prototyping repo. I expect this repo's functionality to be adopted in other in-toto implementations when we accept ITE-11.

This issue is for GSoC project, and @SantiagoTorres suggested to work on this here. I believe this will merge it with in-toto golang sometime in future.

I think there's some interest in https://github.com/in-toto/witness for using the features in this repo, so feel free to look there, too!
