Clarify the need for max overwrite definitions when overwriting via CI/CD script

Caleb Williamson requested to merge calebw-main-patch-58484 into main

What does this MR do?

Clarifies that a resource must have a maximum overwrite definition in the config.toml in order to overwrite limits via the .gitlab-ci.yml.

If a maximum overwrite is not defined, the variables defined in the .gitlab-ci.yml will be ignored with no further information provided to the end user, unless the runner is being used in debug mode.

Review checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  • Ensure a release milestone is set.
