[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 8/8] package/pkg-utils/cve.py: Manage case when package version doesn't exist

Until now, when a package didn't report a version, then the CVE
comparison was just skipped. It leads most of the time to declare the
package not affected by the CVE.

Instead of it, report the CVE_UNKNOWN status in order to be aware that
the CVE related to this package has to be checked.
