Make 10.x EOL warning better than the 9.5.x one

Problem/Motivation

9.5.x now shows a warning in the status report

Covered until 2023-Nov. / Update to a supported minor version soon to continue receiving security updates.

This is controlled by a constant in \Drupal\update\ProjectSecurityData:

const SECURITY_COVERAGE_ENDING_WARN_DATE_9_5 = '2023-05-14';

Users have reported that the warning is poorly worded. This is for two reasons:

  1. There are no more supported minor versions for Drupal 9.5; it should probably tell the user they need to update to Drupal 10.
  2. 9.4.x is still supported for another month, so the warning feels like it's a bit early.

Steps to reproduce

Install 9.5.x and update.module.

Proposed resolution

Discussed with the release managers. @catch said:

Should it say 'Update to Drupal 10 soon to continue receiving security updates' and maybe push it back until the day of 10.1.0's release?

I think maybe it's a typo and it was supposed to be 2023-06-14 but not sure.

Not that changing it now will not have much impact -- at most it will help from the June bugfix release to the 10.1 release date. I guess at least removing the word "minor" would help until D9's EOL.
