Conversation
The `SECURITY.md` document mentions Git for Windows' snapshots and helpfully provides a link. For almost eight years, these snapshots were hosted at https://wingit.blob.core.windows.net/files/index.html, i.e. on Azure Blobs. As of a combination of PRs [*1*], [*2*], snapshots are not only now built and deployed via GitHub Actions instead of Azure Pipelines (and ARM64 artifacts are now included, too), they are also hosted on GitHub [*3*], with the main page being hosted on GitHub Pages [*4*]. Therefore, the original link now redirects to a new location (which is also a lot easier to remember): http://gitforwindows.org/git-snapshots. Let's adjust the link to link there directly.

This is a companion PR of git-for-windows/git-for-windows-automation#111 and of git-for-windows/build-extra#589.
