Add delivery processors for security sync

Alessio Caiazza requested to merge delivery-processors into master

What does this MR do and why?

In delivery we are interested in a better automation for merging the security changes on master from the security mirror into the canonical mirror at the end of each security release.

Here we are introducing two processors, one that automatically approves merge requests from the master branch of the security mirrors, targeting the default branch on the canonical mirror. And another one that verifies that bot approvals are only applied to the intended use cases.
