Make clear what "Context Commits" are

What does this MR do and why?

What: This is the smallest possible change to mention the words "Context Commits" in the docs. Context Commits are equivalent to "previously merged commits".

Why:

  • Currently there's no way to tell what a "Context Commit" is except by looking into the code, which isn't great. I got confused by this in #466153 (comment 1945030576).
  • This term is only used in the API docs, but isn't defined anywhere.
