[PATCH] security: replace FSF address with web source in license notices

[Martin Kepplinger]

A few years ago the FSF moved and "59 Temple Place" is wrong. Having this
still in our source files feels old and unmaintained.

Let's take the license statement serious and not confuse users.

As https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html suggests, we replace the
postal address with "<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>" in the security
directory.

[NOTE: added the SELinux list to the CC line]

Looks fine to me, I'll add it to the SELinux queue for after the merge
window closes.
