Clarify behaviour of group merging
Group merging currently has a stricter criteria than the documentation suggested. Specifically: - The group to merge into must be the same group that the uploading step belongs to (this was in the documentation but not all that clear). - Merging only happens if the matching group step is the first step within the uploaded pipeline YAML (not mentioned at all).
