Description

The README currently says that GitHub CLI supports GitHub Enterprise Server 2.20 and later. That static version floor is stale and does not reflect the project's policy of supporting GHES versions that GitHub currently supports.

This replaces the fixed version with a link to GitHub's authoritative GHES release and support table.

How did you test this change?

Not tested because this is a documentation-only wording and link change.

Key points

The README now follows GitHub's support window without requiring future edits whenever an older GHES release reaches its closing-down date.

Notes for reviewers

Review README.md. Issue #6006 records the existing policy that GitHub CLI supports the GHES versions supported by GitHub.
