Update the Community Process documentation to classify major dependency upgrades as API changes for the purposes of backporting, as per discussion during the Jan 5, 2021 PMC meeting

The aim here is to avoid including API breaking changes in shared dependencies of GeoTools/GeoServer and downstream projects (like GeoMesa) during stable and maintenance point releases.

Security fixes may still introduce API changes in dependencies, if necessary.
