[#10167] Clarify that the lint only works if x eq. y in a for loop.

Reading the documentation for the lint, one could expect that the lint works in all cases that `X == Y`. This is false.

While the lint was updated, the documentation wasn't.

More information about the `N..N` problem in #5689 and #5628

/// ### What it does
/// Checks for range expressions `x..y` where both `x` and `y`
/// are constant and `x` is greater or equal to `y`.
/// are constant and `x` is greater to `y`. Also triggers if `x` is equal to `y` when they are conditions to a `for` loop.
///
/// ### Why is this bad?
/// Empty ranges yield no values so iterating them is a no-op.
