NetBird is moving to a discussion-first workflow across all its repositories. This adds a short README section that sends bug reports, feature requests, and questions to netbird Discussions. Issues here are now opened only by maintainers, from validated discussions.

Background: announcement, workflow guide.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for reporting Android app bugs, requesting features, asking support questions, and reporting security issues.
    • Clarified that validated reports may be linked to repository issues after review.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make the workflow outcome conditional.

The current text promises that every discussion is triaged and that each validated report becomes a linked issue in this repository. Discussion #6075 states that not every discussion becomes an issue, and that the resulting issue or pull request may belong to another NetBird repository. It does not establish a universal link-back. Update the sentence:
