Disable periodic security check for vulnerable packages

[Michael B. Eichorn]

This is because the periodic script in question was added when pkg was
installed, it is not part of the base system. As such the script is in
/usr/local/etc/periodic/security rather than /etc/periodic/security. Any
program can add periodic scripts, for instance smartmontools adds a
periodic script to /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily.

Regards,
Michael Eichorn
