Normalize vulnerability timestamps to RFC 3339 format with explicit UTC
timezone suffix for CycloneDX 1.6 compliance.
This fixes validation errors in sbom-utility and makes the generated
SBOM with vulnerabilities compatible with DependencyTrack VEX parsers.

The NVD JSON data feeds provide timestamps in ISO 8601 format without timezone
information (e.g., "1999-01-01T05:00:00.000"), but CycloneDX 1.6 requires
RFC 3339 format with explicit timezone designation (e.g.,
"1999-01-01T05:00:00.000Z").

Add nvd_datetime_to_rfc3339() helper function to convert timestamps before
serialization.

Validation results:

Before fix:
  $ sbom-utility validate -i cve/cve_report_current.json
  [INFO] BOM valid against JSON schema: 'false'
  [INFO] (234) schema errors detected.

  Error example:
  {
    "type": "format",
    "field": "vulnerabilities.0.updated",
    "context": "(root).vulnerabilities.0.updated",
    "description": "Does not match format 'date-time'",
    "value": "2025-04-03T01:03:51.193"
  }

After fix:
  $ sbom-utility validate -i cve/cve_report_update.json
  [INFO] BOM valid against JSON schema: 'true'

Tested-with: sbom-utility v0.18.1
