Clarify the environments tiers documentation

Phillip Wells requested to merge pw-clarify-production-tiers into master

What does this MR do and why?

From a Slack thread:

What is the real usage of environment tiers? I’ve checked the docs myself, but to be honest, it’s not clear to me either. As I see, you can basically group environments using tiers. Is that right? When I’d like to create an environment using the UI (to quickly test how it would look like after created without modifying my pipelines), there’s no option to define the tier there. Does this information actually show up on the UI?

This MR updates the docs to clarify that environment tiers are not visible in the UI, and are mostly used for DORA metrics, per Viktor.
