docs: add a security policy and a code of conduct

[EtienneLescot]

Summary

Adds a SECURITY.md so researchers know how to report a vulnerability privately. It covers supported versions (latest stable only), the private reporting channel, best-effort response times and scope.

Also adds CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md: the Contributor Covenant 2.1, unchanged except for the enforcement contact.

GitHub's private vulnerability reporting was enabled on the repo alongside this, so the "Report a vulnerability" link in the policy works.

Prompted by the GitHub Guard trust report on r/MacOS, which flagged the missing security policy (4/6).
