What does this MR do?

Updates 2 key pieces of information in the documentation for source installations.

  1. Adds NODE_OPTIONS="--max_old_space_size=4096" during asset creation to prevent out of memory errors from occurring as referenced in ##50937 (closed)
  2. Adjusts location of backup command when changing versions as GitLab is required to be running for backups to occur as well as to also conform with how patch versions upgrade.
