Draft: Mention security issues in release blog only if they are released along with GitLab security release.

Nikhil George requested to merge ngeorge1-master-patch-98036 into master

Why is this change being made?

There is no clear definition of security issues that qualify to be mentioned in the security blog. This MR brings clarity by suggesting that security issues fixed in GitLab products that are released along with the GitLab security release only get mentioned in the security release blog post.

This suggestion came out of a discussion from https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-security/appsec/appsec-team/-/issues/341+
