Add more detail about security risks and mitigation strategies for checkpointing containers

[Nitishupkr]

More information about the security implications of checkpointing containers. As mentioned in the documentation, checkpointing a container creates a stateful copy of the container's memory, which could contain sensitive data. It is important to be aware of this security risk and to take steps to protect sensitive data when checkpointing containers.
