This is the calculator engineering aspects of #186

The document describes some equivalences or ways that CVSS vector string data can be used to inform SSVC decisions.
CVSSv3.1 is not ideal for this. See the discussion of CVSS in the md file md_src_files/082_relatedSystems.md or where that compiles in the PDF (# Related Vulnerability Management Systems).

My suggested logic for the Impact Metrics from CVSSv3.1 is as follows:
IF Scope = Changed
do nothing
ELIF Scope = Unchanged
THEN IF Confidentiality = High AND Integrity = High
DO Technical Impact set to Total
ELSE
DO Technical Impact set to Partial

This is not a perfect mapping, but I think it is a good start.
Since it is not perfect, we will have to think about the User Experience aspect of this. How do we want to expose what the system is doing to the user? How do we give the user enough information about it that they can override the automation if they so desire?

We should adapt this for CVSS v4 at this point too.
