Require CS tool change if docs heading changed

What does this MR do?

This MR adds some comments to the Container Scanning docs explaining that if the headings are changed, the code in the GitLab Container Scanning tool must also be changed to reference the new headings.

Background

Additional error handling code was added to the GitLab Container Scanning tool in gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/klar!29 (merged). This new error handling references specific headings in the Container Scanning docs.

In order to ensure that the headings referenced by the GitLab Container Scanning tool do not become out of date with the docs, it was suggested in this discussion to add a comment to the headings in the container scanning docs explaining that the container scanning tool must be updated if the headings are changed.
