Tony Arcieri ac125ee29a Translate database into V3 advisory format (#420)
As proposed in #240 and tracked in #414, this PR translates all
advisories into the new "V3" advisory format, which is based on Markdown
with leading TOML front matter.

This format makes it easier to see rendered Markdown syntax
descriptions, whether rendered by an IDE or GitHub. This should help
with both crafting advisories initially as well as review, and ideally
encourages more lengthy descriptions.

Support for this format shipped in `cargo-audit` v0.12.0 on
May 6th, 2020.

Improper uniqueness verification of signature threshold

The tough library, prior to 0.7.1, does not properly verify the uniqueness of keys in the signatures provided to meet the threshold of cryptographic signatures. It allows someone with access to a valid signing key to create multiple valid signatures in order to circumvent TUF requiring a minimum threshold of unique keys before the metadata is considered valid.

AWS would like to thank Erick Tryzelaar of the Google Fuchsia Team for reporting this issue.

A fix is available in version 0.7.1.

CVE-2020-6174 is assigned to the same issue in the TUF reference implementation.
