Document that security reports must use 'null-co,read-zeroes=on'
because otherwise the memory is left uninitialized (which is an
on-purpose performance feature).

At KVM Forum 2018 I gave a presentation on security in QEMU:

This patch adds a guide to secure coding practices. This document
covers things that developers should know about security in QEMU. It is
just a starting point that we can expand on later. I hope it will be
useful as a resource for new contributors and will save code reviewers
from explaining the same concepts many times.
