Fix: plug security issue partition system files via include (#3908) #### Summary A recent security review showed that it was possible to partition arbitrary local files in cases where the filetype supports an "include" functionality that brings in the content of files external to the partitioned file. This affects `rst` and `org` files. #### Fix This PR fixes the above issue by passing the parameter `sandbox=True` in all cases where `pypandoc.convert_file` is called. Note I also added the parameter to a call to this method in the ODT code. I haven't investigated whether there was a security issue with ODT files, but it seems better to use pandoc in sandbox mode given the security issues we know about. #### Testing To verify that the tests that are added with this PR find the relevant issue: - Remove the `sandbox=True` text from `unstructured/file_utils/file_conversion.py` line 17. - Run the tests `test_unstructured.partition.test_rst.test_rst_wont_include_external_files` and `test_unstructured.partition.test_org.test_org_wont_include_external_files`. Both should fail due to the partitioning containing the word "wombat", which only appears in a file external to the partitioned file. - Add the parameter back in, and the tests pass.
