Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Currently, it seems that ODC scans only the `csproj` files. Doing so, it is blind to transitive dependencies. For exemple, there is a CVE for the package `System.Text.Json` but you rarely reference it directly as it part of meta package..

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Since .net 2.1, one can enable `RestorePackagesWithLockFile`. This produces a `packages.lock.json` file alongisde each `csproj` with the full dependency tree. This file is usually commited to enable a repeatable build process.
When a package lock file is found, the MSbuild analyser should use it instead of resolving package references from the csproj.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
