    Add feature to check if a CVE has an open launchpad

    This change enables the capability to track if a CVE to be fixed already
    has an open launchpad in starlingx: https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/

    This will help the security team to focus on the CVEs that do not
    have a launchpad already open, reducing the overhead of analysis of CVEs
    already presented to the development team.
