Update support period on security page

website/security: Update support model for 15R

From FreeBSD 15, stable branches are supported for 4 not 5 years.

Support model's rationale is now spread over 2 announcements.

List EOL for 13/14 separately instead of detailing old support model. The
curious can read the previous model in linked announcements.

Resolve slight ambiguity that "next" minor release triggering 3-month
deprecation period is "next from same branch" and not "next in time". Also not
all minor versions have a "next" release: make clear their support ends when
their major version's stable branch reaches EOL.

Handbook does not use "point release" in upgrading chapter (or elsewhere), so
switch terminology to "minor"/"major". This is more consistent with the
language of the 4-year support announcement, but write ".0" as "dot-zero" as in
releng docs. Since "dot-zero" releases are distinguished from "point" releases
in releng docs, make clear 3-month rule applies to dot-zero releases too.
