Adds a section to the build-server-plugin release-creation page covering the git_resources input (create-release GitHub Action v4.2.0+) and the CLI --git-resource flag, for targeting a step's Git resource branch/tag (e.g. the Update Argo CD Application Manifests source) from CI. Clarifies it is distinct from the project's Git Reference/Commit and is resolved at release-creation time (SF-2251).

Adds a Targeting a step's Git resource section to the build-server-plugin release-creation page, alongside the existing per-build-server Git Reference / Git Commit guidance.
Why: the create-release GitHub Action shipped a
git_resourcesinput inv4.2.0, and the CLI has--git-resource, but there was no public doc for choosing a step's Git resource branch/tag at release creation (e.g. deploying a feature branch of an Update Argo CD Application Manifests source). Customer request SF-2251.Content:
git_resourcesis distinct from the project's own Git Reference/Commit and is resolved at release-creation time (so it can't be a deployment variable).github.head_ref || github.ref_nameper-event pattern.Related: create-release-action (feature) + (README), api-client.ts
