Documentation: security-bugs: do not systematically Cc the security team

With the increase of automated reports, the security team is dealing
with way more messages than really needed. The reporting process works
well with most teams so there is no need to systematically involve the
security team in reports.

Let's suggest to keep it for small lists of recipients and new reporters
only. This should continue to cover the risk of lost messages while
reducing the volume from prolific reporters.
