If the "rm_work" task runs on these recipes, the next execution of the
do_sbom_cve_check task would force the CVE databases to be extracted
again. Excluding the recipes from "rm_work" allows the build system to
remember that the unpack and patch tasks were already executed, so
it does not run them a second time. Extracting the CVE databases is
slow, and it also removes the database "index", which sbom-cve-check
has to regenerate — an even slower step.

Keeping WORKDIR around is cheap: for the recipes downloading the CVE
databases, it stays below 400 kB (not counting the "temp" directory,
which rm_work leaves in place anyway).
