Document response times, supported versions, access, secrets, and dependency policies (#5580)

Answer the OpenSSF Best Practices criteria that asked for policies the
project follows but had not written down:

- SECURITY.md: a first response within 14 days, publishing an advisory
  with credit once a fix is released, and that only the latest release
  receives security fixes.
- Governance: who has access to the project's resources, how write or
  admin access is granted, and how CI secrets are stored and rotated.
- Quality assurance: how dependencies of the build, test, and
  documentation tooling are pinned, scanned, and kept free of known
  vulnerabilities.

Also update the assurance case, since comparison no longer recurses per
nesting level (#5390), and point the best practices badge and links to
bestpractices.dev under the program's current name.

[`flatten`](../api/basic_json/flatten.md), and the binary writers, still recurse once per nesting level; work on them
is in progress. Applications that process untrusted input can limit its nesting depth with a
[parser callback](../features/parsing/parser_callbacks.md).
