[ovs-dev] [PATCH 3/3] SECURITY.md: LTS branches triggers version release

The release cycle is in order of months currently, so when a
security fix is applied to LTS (long-term support) branches,
it is recommended to release a new version.

The idea is to keep the latest LTS tarball less vunerable.
