`dnf5 list --upgrades` doesn't respect the options for advisory types/severities and bug/cve/advisory numbers #1816

In dnf4, list upgrades accepts the following options:

--bugfix --enhancement --newpackage --security --advisory --bz --cve --sec-severity

Dnf5 should filter the upgrades using these options as well, or the differences and how to search for different types of upgrades should be documented.

There are two test scenarios for list upgrades --security: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/ci-dnf-stack/blob/main/dnf-behave-tests/dnf/list.feature#L452-L492

Hm, I'm not sure this is worth implementing. Even in dnf4 this functionality for list was not documented (man page says Applicable for the install, repoquery, updateinfo, upgrade and offline-upgrade (dnf-plug‐ins-core) commands. for all those options. I think dnf5 advisory is better fit for searching different types of upgrades.
