[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 5/7] support/scripts/gen-missing-cpe: add new script

From: Matt Weber <matthew.weber at rockwellcollins.com>

This script queries the list of CPE IDs for the packages of the
current configuration (based on the "make show-info" output), and:

 - for CPE IDs that do not have any matching entry in the CPE
   database, it emits a warning

 - for CPE IDs that do have a matching entry, but not with the same
   version, it generates a snippet of XML that can be used to propose
   an updated version to NIST.

Ref: NIST has a group email (cpe_dictionary at nist.gov) used to
recieve these version update and new entry xml files.  They do
process the XML and provide feedback. In some cases they will
propose back something different where the vendor or version is
slightly different.

Limitations
 - Currently any use of non-number version identifiers isn't
   supported by NIST as they use ranges to determine impact
   of a CVE
 - Any Linux version from a non-upstream is also not supported
   without manually adjusting the information as the custom
   kernel will more then likely not match the upstream version
   used in the dictionary
