Combined PR for Issue Resolution / New Features

[cognitivegears]

This combined pull request includes several significant changes to the project, focusing on enhancing logging, improving argument parsing, and updating package analysis heuristics. This also implements additional defensive coding and a few bug fixes. The most important changes are summarized below:

Logging and Configuration Improvements:

• Added logging functionality to Combobulator, along with command line arguments for a log file and logging level. This also supports the silent mode (called quiet mode) from Issue add --silent option to cli #12

Fix syntax errors and defensive coding:

• Added defensive coding to address PR failed when try launch scan  #21
• Fix multiline string formatting in combobulator.py
• Better error handling in returns from API calls
• Added pydoc and general code formatting enhancements
• Fixed failure to add devDependencies on NPM package
• Safety checks on dict usage from API results to gracefully handle unexpected API responses
• Added short sleep on API calls to avoid throttling. Note, this can in some cases slow down execution a bit, but is "nicer" on the public APIs

Added source scanning for PyPi:

• Added source scanning for PyPi using the requirements module - resolves issue Add repo scanning for python repositories #15

Package upgrades:

• Upgraded commons-io:commons-io
• Upgraded requests - multiple high priority vulnerabilities remediated

Added new functionality:

• Added JSON output option to resolve Add JSON for output options #6
• Added new exit codes and an option to exit with an error code when heuristic warnings present, to better enable integration with CI/CD
• Added recursive scan option to scan sub-packages within a repository
• Added new fields onto CSV (and JSON) for boolean condition checks on heuristic failures to avoid need to parse program output to determine failures

Argument Parsing and decoupling Enhancements:

• Refactored argument parsing into a new src/args.py file, introducing new arguments for logging configuration, recursive scanning, and error handling.
• Updated README.md to reflect the new argument options and supported package types.
• Created new constants.py to avoid hardcoded and duplicate strings

Package Analysis Enhancements:

• Improved heuristics in src/analysis/heuristics.py by adding detailed docstrings, refactoring function names for clarity, and incorporating additional risk checks.

Configuration Updates:

• Updated .pylintrc to include an init-hook for setting the Python path. This allows for running PyLint against the project.
• Added Python-specific settings to .vscode/settings.json for better development environment configuration.
