This PR clarifies the supported version update paths in the KubeVirt documentation by expanding the upgrade support note with specific examples.

The previous note only stated "Updating is only supported from N-1 to N release" which was ambiguous. This update provides concrete examples showing:

  • Minor version upgrades (e.g., from v1.6.3 to v1.7.0)
  • Patch version upgrades (e.g., from v1.6.2 to v1.6.3)
  • An example of what is NOT supported (e.g., from v1.5.2 to v1.7.0)

This makes it clearer for users to understand exactly which upgrade paths are supported when updating their KubeVirt installations.

Release note:

NONE

Expanded the update support note to include specific examples of supported upgrade paths (minor version upgrades and patch version upgrades) with concrete version numbers, making it clearer for users what update scenarios are supported.

Now here we should also clarify if v1.6.2 -> 1.7.0 is supported or not.
