doc,meta: codify security release commit message

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/richardlau/security.releasenotes into master

The release commit message for security releases have conventionally started with the phrase This is a security release.. Codify this as part of the release process so that the distribution indexer can use this to detect and mark releases as security releases.

cc @nodejs/security-wg (as the requirement came out of one of their meetings) @nodejs/security-release (this should just be a case of writing down what already happens)
