change wording of phishing notice, due to EIP 1102 (#5819)

With the EIP 1102 updates, MetaMask *does* now open itself when visiting some websites. Changed the wording here to clarify that MetaMask will not open itself to ask you for your seed phrase.

Dear MetaMask Users,
There have been several instances of high-profile legitimate websites such as BTC Manager and Games Workshop that have had their websites temporarily compromised. This involves showing a fake MetaMask window on the page asking for user's seed phrases. MetaMask will never open itself in this way and users are encouraged to report these instances immediately to either [our phishing blacklist](https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-phishing-detect/issues) or our support email at [support@metamask.io](mailto:support@metamask.io).
