Update label suggestion for creating new security issue

Nikhil George requested to merge change_label into master

Why is this change being made?

The current suggestion is to add security label when creating a security issue. There is a chance that these issues might not get attention as the @gitlab-securitybot automation looks for bugvulnerability label to pick up issues for adding security-sp-label-missing and security-triage-appsec labels. Changing the suggestion to add bugvulnerability would help issues to get noticed by the automation which in turn helps to get noticed by the appsec team.
