[iri] #107: Clarify requirement for security considerations

#107: Clarify requirement for security considerations

 Section 4 (Guidelines for Provisional URI/IRI Scheme Registration) allows
 registration by third parties (even if not
 on behalf of those who created the scheme).  While many of the required
 pieces of information are "SHOULD"s, it says:
 "A valid Security Considerations section, as required by Section 6
  of [RFC5226]."

 If the third party does not have access to the spec (e.g., because it's
 owned by an SDO or company without an open spec), the third party may not
 be able to write a "valid" security considerations section.  I ran into
 this personally.

 Need to either make it a SHOULD, or else clarify what is needed in a
 "valid" section.
