Remove outdated caveats about "blocked" pipelines

What does this MR do?

In !133197 (540c1fe8) we clarified that special circumstances apply to a Pipeline's Security tab, but during Allow security reports to be read for pipelines... (#439691 - closed) that bevaiour was aligned and updated (see esp. !146379 (c99b0a49)).

Therefore, should we focus the relevant docs sections to the current/harmonized/standard behavior, removing duplicated mentions of those out-dated caveats?

Since we'll keep the 16.10 & 16.11 versions on that page for a while, it seems better to sometimes refer to that, rather than carrying multiple 16.y mentions forward.

Re the cancelled pipeline: I intend to use this as a test case for local, GDK-based linting, so let's focus the MR review on content for now. I'll push any style updates, as make gitlab-docs-check finds them locally.

Author's checklist

If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Reviewer's checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

If you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • Ensure a release milestone is set.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
