fix(java): map legacy Jackson 1.x (-asl) artifacts to org.codehaus.jackson (#5146)

Browse Source 
jackson-mapper-asl, jackson-core-asl, and their sibling artifacts
(jackson-jaxrs, jackson-xc, jackson-smile) predate the convention of
embedding META-INF/maven/.../pom.properties in the jar (they were
built with Ant before ~2014). With no POM metadata to read, syft's
groupIDFromJavaMetadata falls through to using the artifact name
itself as the group ID, e.g.

  pkg:maven/jackson-mapper-asl/jackson-mapper-asl@1.9.13

instead of the correct

  pkg:maven/org.codehaus.jackson/jackson-mapper-asl@1.9.13

(confirmed against the published POM on Maven Central for all five
artifacts). Because the generated purl's namespace doesn't match the
vulnerability database's namespace for these packages, this causes
false negatives in downstream scanning (e.g. Grype cannot match known
CVEs such as CVE-2019-10202 against jackson-mapper-asl).

Add the five artifacts to DefaultArtifactIDToGroupID, the same known-
package-list fallback already used for other jars with incomplete
metadata (e.g. the existing ant-*, spring-ldap* entries).

Fixes #4598
