Clarify that a Mendix on Kubernetes subscription is still required after Operator license removal
The Operator License alert implied a subscription was only needed for technical support, which caused confusion for a customer and internally after the standalone Operator license key was removed in Operator 2.23.0. Makes explicit that removing the license key was a technical change only and a valid subscription is still required to use the Operator. Also fixes a sentence in the Runtime License section that described the Runtime/Operator license relationship in a confusing order.

Mendix Operator versions older than 2.23.0 require a separate Operator license key. Starting from Operator version 2.23.0, this separate license key is no longer needed. This was a technical change only — a valid Mendix on Kubernetes subscription and support contract is still required to use the Mendix Operator, regardless of Operator version.

A runtime license per environment is required. In addition to that, the Operator license is independent of a Mendix Runtime license. The Mendix Runtime license removes [trial restrictions](/developerportal/deploy/licensing-apps-outside-mxcloud/) from a Mendix App itself. You need both types of licenses to manage and run an application through Mendix on Kubernetes.
