1.0.0

This is a new major version with breaking changes.

What's Changed

**Breaking changes:**
* The commands `guarddog scan` and `guarddog verify` have been deprecated and will be removed in an upcoming version. Use `guarddog pypi scan` and `guarddog pypi verify` instead


New features:
* Added support for scanning npm packages (`guarddog npm scan`) and package.json (`guarddog npm verify`)
* Support SARIF output to allow for easy use with GitHub Code Scanning
* Added commands `guarddog pypi list-rules` and `guarddog npm list-rules`
* Support verbose debugging output through `guarddog --log-level debug ...`

New heuristics:
* New Python heuristic `silent-process-execution` to identify packages silently executing processes, similar to the Pytorch attack
* New PyPI metadata heuristic: `repository_integrity_mismatch` compares the contents of a package on PyPI with its contents on GitHub, and flags packages that have extraneous or modified files not reflected on GitHub
* New npm heuristic: typosquatting
* New npm heuristic: detecting silent process execution
* New npm heuristic: detecting post and pre-install hooks
* New npm heuristic: detecting when a npm package serializes `process.env`

Cosmetics:
* GuardDog now has an official logo!
* README heuristics documentation is now automatically generated and injected in the README

Minor changes:
* chores: Bump certify version to fix GHSA-43fp-rhv2-5gv8
