Add notes on deleting self-monitoring project

Brie Carranza requested to merge bcarranza-advanced-search-delete-self-monitoring-docs into master

What does this MR do and why?

This MR updates the Troubleshooting Elasticsearch documentation to include a note on deleting the self-monitoring project. GitLab Support has seen a few tickets where folks have trouble with Elasticsearch and the fix is to delete the self-monitoring project.

While self-monitoring projects are slated for removal in 16.0, customers won't upgrade immediately. This MR will:

  • deflect tickets
  • make tickets that do come in much easier to solve

I believe that the Index project access levels as PRIVATE when missing project_feature MR seeks to address this.

I put the actual error message in a code block because it contains a backtick (`) inside the error message.

Screenshots or screen recordings

Screenshots are required for UI changes, and strongly recommended for all other merge requests.

How to set up and validate locally
