Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It can be very difficult to find the source of a vulnerability from the table output of an xray scan. This makes it hard for developers to remediate the vulnerability.

Describe the solution you'd like to see
A flag (ie --include-impact-path) is added to the xray scan command that adds a column with the impact path.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The impact path is available in the json output, so that can be used, but it is much harder to read through. Developers can also go to the xray UI and find their scan, but depending on the volume of scans, it can be difficult to find the proper result.

Research direction

Start at the xray scan command and locate how its table output is built, then compare it with the JSON output where the impact path is already available. Trace how scan flags are parsed and verify that --include-impact-path adds the requested column while the default table output remains unchanged.
