Tom Rini 541e68d0ee docs: Add a basic security document
Based loosely on the Linux kernel
Documentation/admin-guide/security-bugs.rst file, create a basic
security document for U-Boot.  In sum, security issues should be
disclosed in public on the mailing list if at all possible as an initial
position.

Handling of security vulnerabilities
====================================
The U-Boot project takes security very seriously. As such, we'd like to know
when a security bug is found so that it can be fixed and disclosed as quickly
as possible.
Contact
-------
The preferred initial point of contact is to send email to
`u-boot@lists.denx.de` and use `scripts/get_maintainers.pl` to also include any
relevant custodians. In addition, Tom Rini should be contacted at
`trini@konsulko.com`.
CVE assignment
--------------
The U-Boot project cannot directly assign CVEs, nor do we require them for
reports or fixes, as this can needlessly complicate the process and may delay
the bug handling. If a reporter wishes to have a CVE identifier assigned ahead
of public disclosure, they will need to coordinate this on their own. When
such a CVE identifier is known before a patch is provided, it is desirable to
mention it in the commit message if the reporter agrees.
Non-disclosure agreements
-------------------------
The U-Boot project is not a formal body and therefore unable to enter any
non-disclosure agreements.
