Antoine Pitrou 96207d75fa GH-49760: [Doc][C++] Elaborate on what constitutes a vulnerability (#55271)
### Rationale for this change

We often get private security reports for some issues which don't threaten confidentiality or integrity.

For these kinds of issues, we would rather have them reported through the usual public means, as it follows our open development principles more closely, and lessens the required paperwork (no CVE, etc.).

### What changes are included in this PR?

Add a paragraph in the C++ security model about what should be reported as a security vulnerability vs. a regular bug.

### Are these changes tested?

N/A.

### Are there any user-facing changes?

No.
