Document possible disaster recovery plan for CI decomposition

Why is this change being made?

This came up in the Sharding meeting about a possible disaster recovery approach. Would be good to document it alongside our other rollback plans so we don't forget. Also linked to an issue so that we can expand the conversation and get more ideas and still easily find them from the handbook page.
