Updates the overview following the recent changes on Git-sourced Actors. The old version showed apify push as the only way to deploy Actors.

Closes #2970.
Part of #1240.

LGTM, small nit about linking out to CLI command reference

Comment thread sources/platform/actors/development/deployment/index.md Outdated

Deploying an Actor involves uploading your [source code](/actors/development/actor-definition) and [building](/actors/development/builds-and-runs/builds) it on the Apify platform. Once deployed, you can run and scale your Actor in the cloud.
Deploying an Actor means defining the [source](/actors/development/deployment/source-types) for one of the Actor versions and [building](/actors/development/builds-and-runs/builds) it into a Docker image on the Apify platform.

To be honest this sentence is quite confusing, and if I did not know Apify, I would not get it.

## How deployment works

To deploy your Actor using the Apify CLI:
Every Actor must have at least one version that stores the code the platform builds from, and defines where that code lives. An Actor can have up to 10 versions.

I am not aware of this "An Actor can have up to 10 versions" -- just curious, do you have any info about this?

It's based on this variable. There's this old PR as well.
