Merge bitcoin#16164: doc: update release process for SECURITY.md
d7c0542 doc: update release process with SECURITY.md (Jon Atack) e4e2b28 doc: clarify support in SECURITY.md (Jon Atack) Pull request description: Follow-up to bitcoin#16140: - Update the release process to maintain SECURITY.md; this looks like the sort of item that can otherwise be easily overlooked during a major release - Clarify type of support in SECURITY.md Question: If https://bitcoincore.org/en/lifecycle/#maintenance-period is still current policy, should v0.15 now be unmaintained and v0.16 EOL... seems the schedule on that page could use an update. ACKs for commit d7c054: practicalswift: ACK d7c0542 fanquake: ACK bitcoin@d7c0542. This seems to make sense.
