adds ability to specify custom agent source code

[bhsu22]

Description of changes:
Instead of using one of the preset patterns in patterns/, you can deploy your own agent code from a custom source directory. Set the source field in config.yaml to point to externally created agent source code. Updates config to include an optional source option.

Tested deployments using patterns and source directory.

Summary

Scanner Results

The table below shows findings by scanner, with status based on severity thresholds and dependencies:

Column Explanations:

Severity Levels (S/C/H/M/L/I):

• Suppressed (S): Security findings that have been explicitly suppressed/ignored and don't affect the scanner's pass/fail status
• Critical (C): The most severe security vulnerabilities requiring immediate remediation (e.g., SQL injection, remote code execution)
• High (H): Serious security vulnerabilities that should be addressed promptly (e.g., authentication bypasses, privilege escalation)
• Medium (M): Moderate security risks that should be addressed in normal development cycles (e.g., weak encryption, input validation issues)
• Low (L): Minor security concerns with limited impact (e.g., information disclosure, weak recommendations)
• Info (I): Informational findings for awareness with minimal security risk (e.g., code quality suggestions, best practice recommendations)

Other Columns:

• Time: Duration taken by each scanner to complete its analysis
• Action: Total number of actionable findings at or above the configured severity threshold that require attention

Scanner Results:

• PASSED: Scanner found no security issues at or above the configured severity threshold - code is clean for this scanner
• FAILED: Scanner found security vulnerabilities at or above the threshold that require attention and remediation
• MISSING: Scanner could not run because required dependencies/tools are not installed or available
• SKIPPED: Scanner was intentionally disabled or excluded from this scan
• ERROR: Scanner encountered an execution error and could not complete successfully

Severity Thresholds (Thresh Column):

• CRITICAL: Only Critical severity findings cause scanner to fail
• HIGH: High and Critical severity findings cause scanner to fail
• MEDIUM (MED): Medium, High, and Critical severity findings cause scanner to fail
• LOW: Low, Medium, High, and Critical severity findings cause scanner to fail
• ALL: Any finding of any severity level causes scanner to fail

Threshold Source: Values in parentheses indicate where the threshold is configured:

• (g) = global: Set in the global_settings section of ASH configuration
• (c) = config: Set in the individual scanner configuration section
• (s) = scanner: Default threshold built into the scanner itself

Statistics calculation:

• All statistics are calculated from the final aggregated SARIF report
• Suppressed findings are counted separately and do not contribute to actionable findings
• Scanner status is determined by comparing actionable findings to the threshold
