SECURITY.md was Microsoft's standard policy. It sent vulnerability reports to the Microsoft Security Response Center, which no longer handles cpprestsdk now that Microsoft has archived the repository.

The new policy asks reporters to use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting, which is now enabled for this repository. It says that security fixes go to the default branch and its next release, and that vulnerabilities in dependencies such as OpenSSL should go to those projects.

The policy names the "Report a vulnerability" button on the Security tab and the default branch, rather than a URL or a branch name, so it stays correct if the repository moves to an organization.

SECURITY.md sent vulnerability reports to the Microsoft Security
Response Center, which no longer handles cpprestsdk. Ask reporters to
use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting for this repository
instead, and say which versions get security fixes.
