Add a security policy

The repository doesn't say how to report a vulnerability privately,
and #6185 was reported in a public issue. Point reporters to GitHub's
private vulnerability reporting.

# Security Policy
## Reporting a vulnerability
Please don't report security vulnerabilities in public issues, discussions or pull requests.
Instead, report them privately through GitHub. Go to the [Security tab](https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/security) of this repository and click "Report a vulnerability". Only the maintainers can see your report.
Please include:
- the lazygit version (the output of `lazygit --version`) and your operating system
- the steps to reproduce the problem, ideally as a script that sets up a repository
- what an attacker can achieve with it
## What happens next
Lazygit is maintained by volunteers in their spare time. We can't promise a fixed response time, but we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
If we confirm the vulnerability, we fix it in private and release a new version. Then we publish a security advisory, request a CVE for it through GitHub, and credit you in the advisory unless you prefer not to be named.
## Supported versions
We only fix security vulnerabilities in the latest release. Please check whether the problem still exists there before you report it.
