Add a new "Security" section

The current security-related documentation is a bit hard to find and
hidden within the development manual. However these are processes that
are not part of a development task but is rather a vulnerability
reporting process.

Create a new "Security" section in the documentation to gather this
information. This will be directly visible in the sidebar when opening
the documentation.

Split the previous security-subjects.rst document into 2 documents:

- security-team.rst: defines the roles of the security teams and its
  members.

- reporting-vulnerabilities.rst: guide to report vulnerabilities to the
  security team.

The plan is to backport these documents to active releases. As a
consequence, this section should be free of instructions and information
that only make sense for a specific release. It should _not_ contain
documents on how to enable security features with Yocto on target
devices, this is unrelated and can be left in the development manual
(for example: dev-manual/vulnerabilities.rst to deal with CVEs).
