Handbook: Add MR review app restarts for blog post troubleshooting

Why is this change being made?

Review apps and their deployments to environments are stopped after a defined interval, for cost saving reasons. While we work on other solutions to make this more convenient for blog post reviews, this MR adds a troubleshooting entry to the handbook. It may also help with future troubleshooting when review apps are stopped for some reason.

I normally don't add a screenshot to the handbook but in this specific case, explaining the CI/CD icons to click in text is nearly impossible.

Thanks @marcel.amirault for the hint!
