Clarify plans around future Group releases so VC users know when to uninstall

Problem/Motivation

The latest release notes read:

Once you upgrade to Drupal 10.2 and none of your code still refers to the Drupal/variationcache namespace, it is safe and recommended to turn off and remove this module.

However, the vast majority of VC users installed it as a dependency for Group and Flexible Permissions, yet there's no release (anytime soon) of either of those that can stop using VC. So these release notes are a bit misleading.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Update both the latest release notes and the project page, to say something like:

This module is still a dependency of flexible_permissions → and therefore, group → . It will require a new major version (v4) of Group to make the required changes to only use Core APIs, and there is no planned date for such a release. Until then using the latest release of VariaitionCache is safe and expected.

Remaining tasks

  1. Refine the blurb
  2. Update the project page
  3. Update the 8.x-1.5 release notes
