This adds a short notice to .github/SECURITY.md clarifying that this repository is a FreeRTOS Labs project and linking to the FreeRTOS Labs introduction page.

Labs projects are functional but may be incomplete or experimental and are not part of the actively maintained, released FreeRTOS libraries. The notice asks reporters to consider those documented Labs limitations before concluding that an observed behavior is an issue in a released library, while keeping the standard AWS/Amazon reporting channel intact.

This file previously had no SECURITY.md; the PR also adds the standard reporting section.

Clarifies that this is a FreeRTOS Labs project and links to the Labs
introduction page, so observed limitations of an experimental Labs
project are not mistaken for issues in a released library.

Closing — after discussion we decided this Labs-project SECURITY.md notice isn't necessary at this time.
