Improvements to migrations docs

Ben Prescott_ requested to merge docs-bprescott-migrations-20200323 into master

What does this MR do?

We have two ways to check migrations. Query sidekiq, and query the database.

They do different things, but both have their uses.

If someone finds themselves reading the database instructions, they should be steered to the upgrade instructions as the main source of truth when performing an upgrade.

If they find the upgrade instructions first, make it easy to find the database query.

Also, link to how to start a rails console, and tweak layout to match style guide.
