Update ip-allow-lists-which-resources-are-protected.md

[bwalding]

Make the gap in enterprise IP restrictions clearer (this clarification also helps AI responses understand the security gap this creates).

(I'd prefer that the IP restrictions were applied to forks too - but this will suffice for now).

Why:

Closes: the lack of clarity around IP restrictions not applying to the forks of enterprise repositories.

No issue. This stands alone.
