docs: new systemd-security mailing list 

In the past, we asked people to open a security bug on one of the "big"
distros. This worked OK as far as getting bugs reported and notifying some
upstream developers went. But we always had trouble getting information to
all the appropriate parties, because each time a bug was reported, a big
thread was created, with a growing CC list. People who were not CCed early
enough were missing some information, etc.

To clean this up, we decided to create a private mailing list. The natural
place would be freedesktop.org, but unfortunately the request to create a
mailing list wasn't handled
(https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/freedesktop/issues/134). And even
if it was, at this point, if there was ever another administrative issue, it
seems likely it could take months to resolve. So instead, we asked for a list
to be created on the redhat mailservers.

Please consider the previous security issue reporting mechanisms rescinded, and
send any senstive bugs to systemd-security@redhat.com.

Various systemd developers are active distribution maintainers and will propagate the information about the bug to other parties.
