Clarify that global.json version field doesn't support 9.0.x, 9.0.0 or 9.0 values #47455
Description
Type of issue
Typo
Description
As evident by
dependabot/dependabot-core#12396
microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks#19292 (comment)
People don't seem to understand what constitutes a valid version string. So let's help people by calling out some specific invalid values.
Related dotnet/sdk#49816
Related PR adding reporting for invalid versions when doing dotnet --info dotnet/runtime#118418 also includes 9.0 as an invalid value together with 9.0.x and 9.0.0.
(Type of issue should probably be "Missing information" but I don't want to break any automation)
