[llvm][Docs] Clarify release ABI/API compatibility rules (llvm#123049)
If the current release branch is version X, the phrase "the previous major release." sounds to me as if it is referring to releases of X-1. Not to the last release from the current release branch, which is what I think it intends. (if it meant X-1, then we could never change the ABI)
