Use less specific language about DB fix version

Amy Qualls requested to merge 408304-aqualls-update-fix-version into master

What does this MR do?

To dovetail with the release post fix in gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com!124035 (merged), this merge request changes the upgrade notes to be less specific about which version the database migration problem in #408304 (closed) will be fixed. We originally thought it would be 15.11.1, but that's turned out to be a security-only patch release. It's probably 15.11.2 but we don't actually know that answer yet, so let's be vague rather than continually updating the info.

People who are involved with shepherding this fix to production: @jon_jenkins, @alexives, @bprescott_.

Evan, I'm comfortable with Alex doing a post-merge review here; I'd feel a lot better if we could get this out relatively quickly.

Author's checklist

If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Reviewer's checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

If you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • Ensure a release milestone is set.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
