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.

Uncontrolled recursion leads to abort in deserialization

Affected versions of this crate did not properly check for recursion while deserializing aliases.

This allows an attacker to make a YAML file with an alias referring to itself causing an abort.

The flaw was corrected by checking the recursion depth.
