Check for Vulnerabilities via GHE Action
Description
This pull request changes the way how we check for security advisories. We move to checking pull requests for introducing new vulnerabilities due to dependency changes via https://github.com/actions/dependency-review-action. Newly discovered vulnerabilities are continued to be reported via https://github.com/zalando/logbook/security/dependabot.
Motivation and Context
The
org.owasp.dependency-check-maven
plugin isn't working reliably anymore and an upgrade to its new version seems not to be feasible (requires API key, users still report slowness), hence we are looking for more streamlined options to make use of Github capabilities directly.We accept the fact that local builds are not scanned anymore, given that most developers were skipping it either way (due to the slowness).
