Update DB docs to add text limit in one migration

Andy Schoenen requested to merge andysoiron/update-db-documentation-for-adding-text-columns into master

What does this MR do and why?

Updates the database documentation for adding text column to existing tables.

We advise adding text limits in a separate migration, even though there is a cop that must be disabled. This MR adds more explanation about this and advices to add the text limit in the same migration but check if the column already exists.
