cve: Use 'http-fetch/cached' instead of having custom caching.

That way CVE fetching benefits from 'If-Modified-Since' handling.

* guix/http-client.scm (http-fetch/cached): Add #:write-cache and
 #:cache-miss parameters and honor them.
* guix/cve.scm (%current-year-ttl, %past-year-ttl): Reduce.
(call-with-cve-port): Remove.
(write-cache): New procedure.
(fetch-vulnerabilities): Rewrite in terms of 'http-fetch/cached'.
