Description
### Current Behavior
Dependency-Track tracks "Classifier" for both project and component. Classifier in Dependency-Track is based on CycloneDX component "type"
In v4.12.1, DT supports the following:

These options are not up-to-date as they represent types that were [available in CycloneDX 1.4](https://cyclonedx.org/docs/1.4/json/#components_items_type)
Thus, type values that were added in CycloneDX 1.5 and 1.6 are not supported. As of [CycloneDX 1.6](https://cyclonedx.org/docs/1.6/json/#components_items_type), there are several missing.
### Proposed Behavior
Extend Classifier list to include Type values that were introduced in CycloneDX 1.5 and 1.6
* platform
* device-driver
* machine-learning-model
* data
* cryptographic-asset
This enhancement is "Basic" as making the new Type values _useful_ would require adding support for (say) CBOM for `cryptographic-asset`
