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.
