docs: unpin the branch-pinned CONTRIBUTORS.md links in the PR template (#1879)

* docs: say "security fixes only" for v1 and unpin the PR-template links

The v1 maintenance policy was stated two different ways across the docs —
"security fixes only" in CONTRIBUTORS.md, "bug fixes" in README.md. The
#1819 PR triage told 120 contributors that v1 is security-fixes-only, so
that is the wording we keep.

Also make the PR template's two CONTRIBUTORS.md links relative instead of
pinned to blob/main/. `main` is release-only, so those resolved against
the last released tree rather than the branch the reader is on.

The remaining AGENTS.md occurrences are left alone deliberately: PR #1866
rewrites those exact lines and lands first.

* docs: drop the README change; #1866 owns that line

The "Repo status" callout edit here patched `(bug fixes only)` →
`(security fixes only)` on the callout as it exists on v2/main. But #1866
replaces that entire callout, because the surrounding sentence is false today:
it still says "The `main` branch is the legacy v1 implementation", when `main`
now holds the latest released v2.

So this edit both collides with #1866 on the same line and, taken on its own,
would preserve the false statement while correcting only the parenthetical.
#1866 already sets the v1 policy wording to "security fixes only" across
AGENTS.md and README (ee020ff2), so nothing is lost by dropping it here.

This PR is now exactly its intended half: the two branch-pinned
`blob/main/CONTRIBUTORS.md` links in .github/pull_request_template.md, made
relative. That file is untouched by #1866, so the two PRs no longer overlap on
any line.
