security-team: Tidy and update section on security team operations

2026-06-08T20:44:06+00:00

The section "What Yocto Security Team does when it receives a security vulnerability" duplicated information already found in the previous section "Security Team Operations", so merge the sections and tidy up the flow of the text. While we're editing this, Mitre is now just one of the places you can go to get a CVE assigned, many other CVE Numbering Authorities (CNAs) are available. They also now have a web form for contact and requesting CVE assignment so let's link directly to that. Also drop "If an upstream project does not respond quickly" down a heading level.
