SECURITY.md: split out security-relevant bits from readme

GitHub has recently introduced a new set of tools that aims to
ease the process around vulnerability reports and security fixes.
Part of those tools is a new security tab for projects that will
display contents from a new SECURITY.md file.

Move relevant parts from README.md to this new file to make use
of this feature.
