feat: group DSA and its CVEs together (#1262)

For container scanning, we should only display DSA results and hide
their related CVEs.
- Add DSA's related CVEs to the same group.
- Sort the group IDs with the DSA first. (DSA is more important than
CVE, and one DSA contains multiple CVEs)
- Don't print CVE records when there is a DSA (this reduces noise in
container scanning results).
