This PR adds CircleCI jobs from an orb that the security team created that runs scans with Brakeman, a static code analysis tool that finds security issues in Ruby on Rails. For each new warning it finds, it does three things:
The confidence level of the Brakeman scan is configurable in the orb parameters, but it defaults to only “high” confidence issues for now.
This PR has the orb running nightly as a scheduled pipeline on CircleCI. We use a scheduled pipeline since pipelines can be run as specific users, and we need to run the CircleCI job as a user who has access to the restricted context used by the orb. Once this PR is merged, I'll create the scheduled pipeline in CircleCI to run as the security team's machine user.
