[PATCH v2] sbom-cve-check-common: print warnings on unpatched CVEs

The now removed cve-check class used to print warnings when CVEs with
status "Unpatched" were found. Add this feature to the
sbom-cve-check class with the same default value (enabled).

For now it only does so when the cvecheck report type is enabled. It may
be possible to do the same for the SPDX report type.

Sample output:

WARNING: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_sbom_cve_check: busybox-1.37.0: Found unpatched CVEs: CVE-2024-58251
WARNING: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_sbom_cve_check: expat-2.7.5: Found unpatched CVEs: CVE-2025-66382, CVE-2026-41080
WARNING: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_sbom_cve_check: glibc-2.43+git: Found unpatched CVEs: CVE-2010-4756, CVE-2026-4046
