Descripción

Some data source or ecosystems have weird stuff. We are for now tracking some of these as ignoreable version for instance in the GitHub Importer.

The more I see these ignorable_versions and in particular the list of "WEIRD_IGNORABLE_VERSIONS," the more I think this is smelling bad or weird. IMHO we should rather have this approach:
- An ignorable versions should be tied to a specific package URL, and not freestanding
- Ideally it would be an IgnorableVersion object with a purl attribute, a list of ignorable versions AND a reason text that explains why we are ignoring these.
- When using these, we should only ignore things IFF we have a proper matching purl so that we are super restrictive about the context.
- In some case we may even consider still importing these invalid data but mark them as as invalid, not usable somehow with some falf in the models.

Otherwise, I feel we are likely to skip things silently and that's a problem.
