docs: clarify security-bugs disclosure policy
I think we need to soften the language a bit. It might scare folks
off, especially the:
We prefer to fully disclose the bug as soon as possible.
which is not really the case. Linus says:
It's not full disclosure, it's not coordinated disclosure,
and it's not "no disclosure". It's more like just "timely
open fixes".
I changed a bit of the wording in here, but mostly to remove the word
"disclosure" since it seems to mean very specific things to people
that we do not mean here.
