Update file transparency-by-default.md

Joaquin Fuentes requested to merge update-restricted-incidents into main

Why is this change being made?

💡 Provide a detailed answer to the question on why this change is being proposed, in accordance with our value of Transparency.

The documentation requires an update to align with current practices in keeping GitLab, its customers, and team member information SAFE. Some security incidents may need to remain confidential even after they are closed/resolved, because the information remains perpetually sensitive in nature and because we want to prevent causing harm or risk.
