docs(merge-queue): stops claiming batches require the up-to-date setting to be off; batch grouping…

[mergify-ci-bot]

The batches page stated flatly that batches "require" Require branches to be up
to date before merging to be disabled. The rulesets page, which this passage
already links to for the details, scopes the conflict to a queue testing on a
temporary batch pull request and lists three resolutions besides disabling the
setting: a bypass actor on the ruleset, a fast-forward queue, and in-place
checks. So a reader who cannot turn that setting off, which is common when it is
set organisation-wide, was being told batches were unavailable to them when other
routes were open.

The passage now states the conflict rather than a requirement and says why GitHub
blocks the merge. It mentions in-place checks with the constraint that decides
whether they are usable at all, batch_size: 1, so nobody reads them as an
option that preserves batching, and it leaves the full list of resolutions to the
page that already enumerates them instead of half-repeating them here.

The linear-history sentence also moved out of the middle of that explanation and
gained the clause it was missing. Sitting directly after the sentence about the
up-to-date setting, it read as a resolution for it, which it is not:
merge_method: rebase answers a linear-history requirement and does nothing
about this setting. Conflating the two is the likeliest way to arrive at a queue
that still will not merge.

Evidence: the engine's protection-conflict detection, which raises this conflict
only when checks do not run in place and skips it for a fast-forward queue, and
the in-place check test, which requires batch_size: 1.

…truncated; the rest is in the run log.
