Subject: [PATCH] This works starting v1.6: `--select resource_type:source`

## What are you changing in this pull request and why?
Prior to dbt v1.6, `--select resource_type:source` wasn't an option, and
this was the alternative:
```bash
dbt list --resource-type source
```
But now that it's available for all supported versions of dbt, we can
update the docs to remove this caveat.
