The Arch importer never looked at the AVG status, so records marked "Not affected" were imported as affecting the listed packages. For example AVG-2737 showed gnome-remote-desktop 42.1-1 as affected. Keep the advisory so its aliases and references are still recorded, but do not attach any affected packages to it. Signed-off-by: Sahil Lenka <sahillenka44@gmail.com>

The Arch Linux importer doesn't read the
statusfield of an AVG, so records marked "Not affected" upstream get imported as if the package were vulnerable.For example AVG-2737 (gnome-remote-desktop, CVE-2022-1736) is "Not affected", but it's imported with affected
42.1-1and fixed42.1.1-1.This keeps the advisory so its aliases and references are still stored, but skips the affected packages for "Not affected" records. Added a test using the AVG-2737 record.
I left the "Vulnerable" records with no fixed version and the "Unknown" ones alone for now. Happy to look at those in a follow-up if that's useful.
