Documentation: add a "why" note for the puma/unicorn/sidekiq reload

Jason Young requested to merge docs-jayo-add-hup-why into master

What does this MR do?

We've had at least one recent support ticket come in where a customer was running multiple application nodes and had errors result from where they did not reload the unicorn/sidekiq processes on all the application nodes. While our single-node and HA docs make this clear that you'll need to do this with upgrades - there's no mention of "why".

This MR adds a brief mention for why a HUP of unicorn/puma and restart of sidekiq is necessary when going through a zero-downtime upgrade
