Convert an RF entity to STIX2.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
name	The name of the entity. TYPE: str
entity_type	The Recorded Future type of entity. TYPE: str

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
STIX2TransformError	If an invalid keyword argument is passed in kwargs.
UnsupportedConversionTypeError	If the provided entity type is unsupported for conversion.

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
Union[IndicatorEntity, Identity, Malware, Vulnerability, TTP]	An instance of a corresponding STIX2 entity based on the provided entity type.
