What would you like to be added:

When grype decides to update the vulnerability database before a run, grype should be able to download a diff of what changed, rather than the entire database.

Why is this needed:

Right now, when running grype for the first time that day, ~130MB download is needed for the new Grype DB. However, it is very likely that most of this data was downloaded the day before, with only a small number of additions and subtractions. It would be great if only this tiny diff could be downloaded each day, instead of the entire database.
