This document slightly duplicates the "support"[1] page here, but
largely refers to the content in[1].

This is based on Peter Maydell's feedback[2] in v2: "there is some
merit in the documentation being standalone, even if it does mean a bit
of duplication with the website".

Could you maybe also put a direct link to 
https://www.qemu.org/contribute/security-process in here? ... some people 
still get it wrong how to report security issues, so putting this directly 
maybe helps a little bit...
