feat: Moved non‑standard implementations to Contrib area (#916)

* Added
  - New sub-package `contrib`.
* Changed
  - Moved non‑standard implementations to Contrib area.
* Deprecated
  - Certain exports have been deprecated; downstream imports should be updated to the new locations.  
    Note: the symbols themselves remain supported. See documentation and the "Refactored" section below for details.
  - Some (trivial) non-standard functionality was deprecated:
    - `model.bom.Bom.get_component_by_purl()`
    - `model.bom.Bom.get_urn_uuid()`
    - `model.bom.Bom.has_component()`
    - `model.bom.Bom.get_vulnerabilities_for_bom_ref()`
    - `model.bom.Bom.has_vulnerabilities()`
    - `model.bom.Bom.urn()` 
* Refactored
  * The following symbols were moved.  
    The symbols are still import-able through their old location. 
    * **OLD** -> **NEW**
    - `builder.this.this_component()` -> `contrib.this.builders.this_component()`
    - `builder.this.this_tool()` ->  `contrib.this.builders.this_tool()`
    - `exception.factory.*` -> `contrib.license.exceptions.*`
    - `factory.license.LicenseFactory` -> `contrib.license.factories.LicenseFactory`
    - `model.HashType.from_hashlib_alg()` -> `contrib.hash.factories.HashTypeFactory.from_hashlib_alg()`
    - `model.HashType.from_composite_str()` -> `contrib.hash.factories.HashTypeFactory.from_composite_str()`
    - `model.component.Component.for_file()` -> `contrib.component.builders.ComponentBuilder.make_for_file()`
    - `model.vulnerability.VulnerabilitySeverity.get_from_cvss_scores()` -> `contrib.vulnerability.cvss.vs_from_cvss_scores()`

+# CycloneDX Contrib Extensions
+
+This directory contains community-contributed functionality that extends the capabilities of the CycloneDX core library.  
+Unlike the modules in `../`, these features are not part of the official CycloneDX specification and may vary in stability, scope, or compatibility.
+
+## Contents
+- Utilities, helpers, and experimental features developed by the community
+- Optional add-ons that may facilitate or enhance use of the CycloneDX core library
+- Code that evolves independently of the CycloneDX specification
+
+## Notes
+- Contrib modules are optional and not required for strict compliance with the CycloneDX standard.
+- They may change more frequently than the core and are not guaranteed to follow the same versioning rules.
+- Users should evaluate these modules carefully and consult documentation or source comments for details.
+
+## Contributing
+Contributions are welcome. To add an extension:
+1. Follow the contribution guidelines in the main repository.
+2. Place your code in a clearly named subfolder or file under `contrib/`.
+3. Provide documentation and tests to ensure clarity and maintainability.
