Some container images (kubevirt, bootc, driver-toolkit) ship real
kernel RPMs. Replace the blanket kernel-* reject with an allowlist of
runtime packages so those advisories can match, while still filtering
headers/docs/debuginfo that commonly appear in userspace images.

This patch gives the operator the ability to restore previous behaviour
of the RHEL VEX parser to ignore kernel vulnerabilities. setting the
ingore_kernel_packages flag to true will also change the updater
fingerprint and force a full update (as will subsequently removing
it/setting it to false).
