Clarify that current version 11 is 10.2

Problem/Motivation

Drupal 11 is available via Composer (or so it looks):

$ composer show drupal/recommended-project --all
name     : drupal/recommended-project
descrip. : Project template for Drupal projects with a relocated document root
keywords : 
versions : 11.x-dev, 10.1.x-dev, 10.1.0-beta1, 10.1.0-alpha1, 10.0.x-dev, 10.0.9, 10.0.8, 10.0.7, 10.0.6, 10.0.5, 10.0.4, 10.0.3, 10.0.2, 10.0.1, 10.0.0, 10.0.0-rc3, 10.0.0-rc2, 10.0.0-rc1, 10.0.0-beta2, 10.0.0-beta1, 10.0.0-alpha7, 10.0.0-alpha6, 10.0.0-alpha5, 10.0.0-alpha4, 10.0.0-alpha3, 10.0.0-alpha2, 10.0.0-alpha1, 9.5.x-dev, 9.5.9, 9.5.8
[...]

It has got a drupal 11.x-dev β†’ page.

You can install it via Composer:

$ composer create-project drupal/recommended-project:^11@dev test
Creating a "drupal/recommended-project:^11@dev" project at "./test"
Installing drupal/recommended-project (11.x-dev f6dbdb06676ea159c65f6912f64b8bfbef89d07a)
  - Downloading drupal/recommended-project (11.x-dev f6dbdb0)
[...]

After downloading, it looks like 11 in composer.json:

        "drupal/core-composer-scaffold": "^11",
        "drupal/core-project-message": "^11",
        "drupal/core-recommended": "^11",

Also on the Status page (/admin/reports/status):

Drupal Version

11.0-dev

Reading New Drupal core branching scheme introduced β†’ makes it clear that the current Drupal 11 really is 10.2, as @berdir pointed out to me in πŸ“Œ Add Drupal 11 support Needs review .

I am not sure there's much actionable here ... except inform, and hope people see it.

We could use the new great Announcement Feeds β†’ module, by temporarily enabling it in the 11.x branch (until things have settled) and add an announcement "Note: Drupal 11 really is Drupal 10.2" on https://www.drupal.org/about/announcements β†’ to advertise this. Or maybe the Announcement Feeds module is not quite ready?
