docs: the runner was switched back, so stop claiming it

Switching refresh.yml back to ubuntu-latest left this file asserting that it
runs on a self-hosted runner "because the address is the legitimate lever". The
lever is still the address; that particular address just was not a better one.

Says so explicitly, because the revert is easy to misread as the idea being
wrong rather than one address not being the one — and the next person here will
otherwise try the same runner again.
