Since M81 won't receive any updates anymore and there are known
vulnerabilities we should mark it as insecure so that users are aware of
the risks.
Updating Chromium to M83 is unfortunately too challenging for
19.09, but as of today we've already covered the one month period of
security updates for "oldstable" and both 20.03 and nixos-unstable
contain recent versions (i.e. users should either update to the current
stable release or install Chromium from a different channel).

nixos-unstable PR for M83: #88206

Motivation for this change
Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.
