docs/secure-coding-practices: Describe how to use 'null-co' block driver

Document that security reports must use 'null-co,read-zeroes=on'
because otherwise the memory is left uninitialized (which is an
on-purpose performance feature).

docs: add Secure Coding Practices to developer docs

At KVM Forum 2018 I gave a presentation on security in QEMU:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAdRf_hwxU8 (video)
https://vmsplice.net/~stefan/stefanha-kvm-forum-2018.pdf (slides)

This patch adds a guide to secure coding practices. This document
covers things that developers should know about security in QEMU. It is
just a starting point that we can expand on later. I hope it will be
useful as a resource for new contributors and will save code reviewers
from explaining the same concepts many times.
