Resolves: #34343

As of right now, MuseScore does not have a dedicated file describing its security policies. The addition of this file would be beneficial to both users and developers of MuseScore and provide some peace of mind. This PR is not meant to resolve this issue once and for all, but to introduce this feature to MuseScore's GitHub repository and make it available for changes and updates.
