new: [import] first version of the import

- Parse the CPE 2.3 XML file
- Extract vendor and product
- Canonize words from the vendor and product
- Insert in redis the reverse index and create a sorted set with the
score per cpe vendor:product frequency

+# CPE guesser
+
+CPE guesser is a web service to guess the CPE name based on one or more keyword(s).  Then the result can
+be used against [cve-search](https://github.com/cve-search/cve-search) to do actual searches by CPE names.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Redis
+- Python
+
+## How does this work?
+
+A CPE entry is composed of a human readable name with some references and the structured CPE name.
+
+~~~
+  <cpe-item name="cpe:/a:10web:form_maker:1.7.17::~~~wordpress~~">
+    <title xml:lang="en-US">10web Form Maker 1.7.17 for WordPress</title>
+    <references>
+      <reference href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/form-maker/#developers">Change Log</reference>
+    </references>
+    <cpe-23:cpe23-item name="cpe:2.3:a:10web:form_maker:1.7.17:*:*:*:*:wordpress:*:*"/>
+  </cpe-item>
+~~~
+
+The CPE name is structured with a vendor name, a product name and some additional information.
+CPE name can be easily changed due to vendor name or product name changes, some vendor/product are
+sharing common names or name is composed of multiple words.
+
+
+### Data
+
+Split vendor name and product name (such as `_`) into single word(s) and then canonize the word. Building an inverse index using
+the cpe vendor:product format as value and the canonized word as key.  Then cpe guesser creates a ranked set with the most common 
+cpe (vendor:product)  per version to give a probability of the CPE appearance.
+
+### Redis structure
+
+- `w:<word>` set
+- `s:<word>` sorted set with a score depending of the number of appearance
