Clarify purpose of dependency list report

Phil Zona requested to merge philbz-master-patch-50720 into master

What does this MR do?

This is the first MR to address issues brought up by a customer in this ticket: https://gitlab.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/151538 (internal link)

There was some confusion (both on the part of the customer and the support team) about the reports from the dependency list and the dependency scanning job. I think that making this distinction on the dependency list doc, which is the only place to directly download a report involving dependencies, is a good start.
