…This is the one in the DCA meta queries output, not the grand total used in metrics.

Pull Request Overview
This PR reduces noise in the rust/summary/query-sinks query by filtering out ubiquitous sink types that typically clutter the results. The query is used in DCA meta queries output and for ad-hoc database analysis, where dereference and logging sinks often obscure more interesting security-relevant findings.
- Filters out
AccessInvalidPointer::SinkandCleartextLogging::Sinkfrom query results - Updates documentation to reflect the filtering of ubiquitous sink types
- Adds necessary imports for the filtered sink types

Make
rust/summary/query-sinksless noisy. This is the one used in the DCA meta queries output, and occasionally used ad-hoc to get a feel for a database - but it is not used in metrics (the counts produced byrust/summary/query-sink-countsandrust/summary/summary-statisticsare not affected by this change). Currently for both uses results for this query are typically clogged with dereference and logging sinks, which obscures and in the case of the DCA meta queries output can completely hide other more interesting results.
