Update Pages max size prerequisites

Ben King requested to merge benjaminking-update-pages-max-size-docs into master

What does this MR do and why?

The documentation for managing GitLab Pages contains two sections which are inaccurate:

In both of these sections, it lists a prerequisite that the user must have at least a Maintainer role on the group or project respectively. It has been previously confirmed that it is an intentional design choice to limit access to these settings to administration accounts only. This can lead to misleading situations with our customers where they are unable to see the setting, even though they believe they have the sufficient permissions. This remains in-place as seen in this rule policy checking if a user account is an admin.

This MR updates the prerequisite note to indicate it must be changed by an administrator.
