Compared to pip, NPM warns users when a dependency subtree about to be installed, includes known vulnerabilities. This helps devs catch security issues earlier, so they can update or replace critical dependencies.

Similarly, the dependency-check pip package offers the ability to detect pip dependencies with known vulnerabilities.

Now that we have a workaround for warning on vulnerable pip packages, let's move this logic into the default pip install code, so that all Python devs are alerted on vulnerable dependencies.
