Security: add virus scanning example to README

Hi, I wanted to suggest adding a security section to the README covering virus scanning of uploaded files.
Most developers using multer don't realize their upload endpoints accept malware without any content inspection. A brief example using memoryStorage + scanBuffer would help a lot.
I built pompelmi (https://github.com/pompelmi/pompelmi) specifically for this use case — zero dependencies, typed verdicts, works directly with multer's memoryStorage. Happy to contribute a PR adding the example to the docs if that would be welcome.
