doc: record the omitted strict_min_version and rejection guards

The plan pinned strict_min_version to 112.0 for the ES-module background
floor, but the existing data_collection_permissions key requires Firefox
140 desktop / 142 Android, so addons-linter warned and warningsAsErrors
failed the build. Measured: 112.0 -> 2 warnings, 140.0 -> 1, 142.0 ->
clean, omitted -> clean. 142.0 was rejected because it locks out ESR 140.
Omitting excludes nobody and degrades gracefully below 112.

Also syncs the plan's background.js block with the rejection guards added
in 22fc754, and reworks two of those comments for clarity.
