feat: Allow non-admin users to get install info

This commit modifies the 'install' command to allow non-admin users to
retrieve installation information for Pipelines-as-Code. Previously, this
command was restricted to admin users only. Now, if the user does not have
rights to list all repos in the cluster, the command will attempt to list
repos in the current namespace instead. The command's help text has been
updated to reflect this change.

-installation, including the location and version. You can also view an overview
-of all Repositories CR created on the cluster and their associated URLs.

-If your have your installation set-up with a [GitHub App](../../install/github_apps),
-you will be able to the see details of the installed application along with
-other relevant information like the URL endpoint configured for your GitHub APP.
-By default, this will display information from the public GitHub API, but you
-can specify a custom GitHub API URL using the `--github-api-url` argument.

-authorized to access this command.
+The `tkn pac info` command provides information about your Pipelines-as-Code
+installation, including its location and version.
+
+By default, it displays the version of the Pipelines-as-Code controller and the
+namespace where Pipelines-as-Code is installed. This information is accessible
+to all users on the cluster through a special ConfigMap named
+`pipelines-as-code-info`. This ConfigMap has broad read access in the namespace
+where Pipelines-as-Code is installed.
+
+If you are a cluster admin, you can also view an overview of all created
+Repositories CR on the cluster, along with their associated URLs.
+
+As an admin, if your installation is set up with a [GitHub
+App](../../install/github_apps), you can see the details of the installed
+application and other relevant information, such as the URL endpoint configured
+for your GitHub App. By default, this will display information from the public
+GitHub API, but you can specify a custom GitHub API URL using the
+`--github-api-url` argument.
