Description

Describe the bug The documentation in https://github.com/stacks-network/stacks-core/blob/master/stackslib/src/chainstate/stacks/boot/docs.rs says that only "It cannot be a native Segwit address"

This is not true any more since Stacks 2.1.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the documentation file `stackslib/src/chainstate/stacks/boot/docs.rs` in the repository and update the statement about native Segwit addresses to reflect that they are now supported since Stacks 2.1. Ensure the change is consistent with the actual behavior.
