Fixes #3309.

The forkNode parameter and site documentation no longer say that TCP/IP would become the default in 3.0.0. They now state that process pipes remain the default and that TCP/IP sockets are available as an opt-in alternative.

Verification:

  • /tmp/apache-maven-3.9.11/bin/mvn -pl maven-surefire-plugin,maven-failsafe-plugin -am -DskipTests -Drat.skip=true -Dcheckstyle.skip=true -Dspotless.apply.skip=true -Dspotless.check.skip=true -Danimal.sniffer.skip=true -Dmaven.build.cache.enabled=false package

The forkNode documentation still said the default would switch to TCP/IP in 3.0.0. Process pipes remain the default, while TCP/IP is an opt-in alternative.

Update the plugin parameter docs and site examples accordingly.
