[m-rev.] diff: clarify gcc back-end version documentation

[Fergus Henderson]

Estimated hours taken: 0.25
Branches: main

w3/download/include/gcc-backend.inc:
	Update the documentation to mention mercury-0.10.2-beta-*,
	along with mercury-0.10.1, to make it clear that the statements
	about "release-of-the-day" releases only apply to the main-line
	release-of-the-day releases, not the 0.10 branch releases.
