Clarify requirements for custom metrics in docs

Reuben Pereira requested to merge 62234-custom-metrics-help-text into master

What does this MR do?

Before After
custom_metrics_before custom_metrics_ee_after

The custom metrics form returns 404 if there isn't a cluster with environment scope * and Prometheus installed or a manually configured Prometheus available. This is unfortunately not clear in the docs and on the UI. This MR adds help text next to the custom metrics section. This MR also modifies the docs to mention the above.
