Note major versions are not automatically tagged

[Kurt-von-Laven]

The previous wording can be misinterpreted to suggest that GitHub Actions itself automatically tags major versions. Also, remove assurance that pinning the major version protects your workflow from breaking. This is only true if the action you depends on never introduces any bugs that affect you. In other words, it's false in practice.

Why:

Closes #17071.

What's being changed:

See rich diff.
