Message:

Upgrade/Install: Improve the accuracy of the auto_update_{$type} filter docblock.

This updates the filter documentation for auto_update_{$type} to account for the changes to default auto-update behaviors made in WordPress 5.6.

Starting in WordPress 5.6, all new installs auto-update major versions by default.

Props felipeloureirosantos, audrasjb, marybaum, davidbaumwald.
Fixes #53330.
