SECURITY.md has a recently added section titled OpenSSF Scorecard
that actually documents OpenSSF Best Practices. Scorecard [0] is a
different OpenSSF project, that incorporates Best Practices, but is
distinct in its objectives and how it achieves them.
This change clarifies the terminology, and also removes any
implication that Gold Best Practices is an award rather than a self
certification programme.
As curl was a leader in implementing Best Practices some folk may be
more familiar with the earlier Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII)
naming, so a reference to that has been added.
