The previous wording "browsers that were released at least 2.5 years ago" implied targeting very old browsers. The actual meaning is that Vite uses features which have been available across browsers for at least 2.5 years. Fixes vitejs#21144

What
Clarifies the browser support documentation wording that was flagged as confusing in #21144.
Why
The original phrasing — "These are browsers that were released at least 2.5 years ago" — reads as if Vite targets browsers from 2.5+ years ago. In reality, the Baseline Widely Available threshold means Vite only uses features that have been available across all major browsers for at least 2.5 years.
Change
Closes #21144
