The current wording (about the sets of values being "the same") is not accurate.

Pull request overview
This PR corrects inaccurate documentation about CodeQL range checks by clarifying that they check for "at least one value" in common rather than "the same set of values." The fix addresses issue #21068 where the previous wording incorrectly implied set equality semantics.
- Rewrites the description of range check behavior to accurately reflect CodeQL's "at least one common value" semantics
- Removes the misleading explanation that claimed
<expression> in <range>checks if sets are "the same" - Retains the note about equivalence between
inand=operators, which is consistent with CodeQL's equality semantics documented elsewhere
