History of Advisories #2329

Description

@Samk1710

Right now, when an advisory is updated upstream, we create a new record in the db(mark it with is_latest=True) on the subsequent importer run but there is no way for a user to see what actually changed over time.

  • At first we need a Way Back Machine mimic for advisories to see a advisory snapshot exactly how it was at that point in time
  • We display the diffs between versions directly in the UI (if a severity score changes, a new reference is added, or a package is removed, users should be able to see exactly when and what happened at a glance)

Suggested UX:

  • Add a "History" tab to the advisory detail page.
  • Show a chronologically ordered list of versions of the advisory
  • Allow users to click into a specific historical snapshot to view the advisory exactly as it was at that point in time, just like a way Back Machine
  • Need a summary/diff of what changed for a quick overview

Excluding changes summary and epss score(can be tracked after merge of #2328 ; also since it changes everyday) might be good.
