security: change `SECURITY.md` to recommend GitHub's private reporting (#39651)
GitHub's beta private security issue reporting feature is enabled on the Spack repo now, so we can change `SECURITY.md` to recommend using it instead of `maintainers@spack.io`. - [x] Update `SECURITY.md` to direct people to the GitHub security tab. - [x] Update working in `SECURITY.md` to say "last two major releases" with a link to the releases page, instead of explicitly listing release names. This way we don't have to update it (which we keep forgetting to do).
