feat: new generic regex-based checker #5216

Description

I propose a new way to extend version schemes without having to add code, by just provide the regex. Maybe it could be just a new "generic" checker that reads the information from some yaml or json, or a field in the osv file.

Why?

Adding a new version format regex requires code changes and a new deployment, whereas it could be data-driven rather than code-driven.

Environment context (optional)

This is also useful for non-open source software (such as BIOS packages, or more exotic firmware that EMBA finds).
