Description

We added rules looking for specific common crypto libraries, but we already have a few in Application Inspector. Maybe we should just move them all there, since we're referencing those rules anyway.

Research direction

Start by comparing OSSGadget’s existing crypto-library detection rules with Application Inspector’s cryptography/external_libraries.json. Identify which rules overlap and determine the complete migration scope; done means the duplicated detections have a clear home in Application Inspector and OSSGadget references the intended rules consistently.
