Subject: [PATCH] Docs: Update description for the `$wp_version` global.

In addition to holding the version number, the WordPress version string is used to bust caches and to enable development mode for scripts when running from the `/src` directory.

Follow-up to [803], [2585], [6554], [47230].

Props muhammadfaizanhaidar, azaozz.
Fixes #53413.
