admin: Update security instructions to emphasize reporting via GitHub (AcademySoftwareFoundation#2112)
docs: Update security instructions to emphasize reporting via GitHub The security@openshadinglanguage.org is still fine, but we prefer that true vulnerability reports come via the GitHub security advisory mechanism. (That makes it easy for us to turn them into CVEs when needed, among other administrative niceties.) Signed-off-by: Larry Gritz <lg@larrygritz.com>
