Tony Arcieri ac125ee29a Translate database into V3 advisory format (#420)
As proposed in #240 and tracked in #414, this PR translates all
advisories into the new "V3" advisory format, which is based on Markdown
with leading TOML front matter.

This format makes it easier to see rendered Markdown syntax
descriptions, whether rendered by an IDE or GitHub. This should help
with both crafting advisories initially as well as review, and ideally
encourages more lengthy descriptions.

Support for this format shipped in `cargo-audit` v0.12.0 on
May 6th, 2020.

Unchecked vector pre-allocation

Affected versions of this crate pre-allocate memory on deserializing raw buffers without checking whether there is sufficient data available.

This allows an attacker to do denial-of-service attacks by sending small msgpack messages that allocate gigabytes of memory.
