bug#27891: 26.0.50; Small error in docstring of `defcustom'

[Philipp]

The docstring of `defcustom' says:

    :package-version
        […]  The PACKAGE and VERSION
        must appear in the alist ‘customize-package-emacs-version-alist’.

But that's only correct for packages distributed with Emacs, not for
arbitrary third-party packages.
