<https://www.freebsd.org/security/#model> begins

The table under <https://www.freebsd.org/security/#sup> does not yet show
stable/14. So (given what's quoted) the table seems to be outdated, however the
table is, at this time, correct.

For things within the page to be consistent with each other, now and in the
future: 

* expand what's currently line 110. 

The phrase "first release" seems suitable:

> Under the current support model, each major version’s stable branch is 
> explicitly supported for 5 years from the first release, while each individual 
> point release is only supported for three months after the next point release.

re@ would you like me to prepare a patch file?
