Add documentation about AWS ELB not supporting web sockets

Drew Blessing requested to merge docs-aws-elb-web-terminals into master

What does this MR do?

I've seen two cases now where customers are encountering problems with the interactive web terminal and AWS ELBs. I found AWS documentation that says classic ELBs don't support web sockets. Only application load balancers do. Adding to the documentation will help customers as they try to set up this feature.

Review checklist

All reviewers can help ensure accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide.

1. Primary Reviewer

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Optional: Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.

3. Maintainer

  1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  2. Ensure a release milestone is set and that you merge the equivalent EE MR before the CE MR if both exist.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
