Fixes #1621

Summary

The --suffix option has been stable and widely used since it was introduced in 2020 (pre-v1.0). The "NOTE: The suffix feature is experimental and subject to change." warning in the help text is outdated and no longer accurate.

This PR removes that note, leaving a clean and accurate description.

Before:

--suffix SUFFIX    Optional suffix for virtual environment and executable names. NOTE: The suffix feature is experimental and subject to change.

After:

--suffix SUFFIX    Optional suffix for virtual environment and executable names.

Is --suffix still experimental?
