What does this MR do and why?

Update git protocols access description on the group level docs

It's known that Enabled Git access protocols: Only SSH has an exception and even if set, it's git+https will be still allowed for GitLab CI/CD sourced requests authenticated with a valid $CI_JOB_TOKEN.

In the docs for this feature on the administration level, we have a warning about that and explanation why this exception is needed.

As pointed in #451092, we lack the same warning and explanation in the group level docs about access and permission management.

This commit adds the missing warning area and a comment that will inform us to remember about keeping the two warnings in sync.
