Simplify docs on enable Elasticsearch integration

Dylan Griffith requested to merge improve-enabling-es-integration-docs into master

What does this MR do?

  1. Remove instructions for indexing small instances. It's not necessary since we already have instructions for enabling/indexing which works fine for small instances.
  2. Remove the separation between "indexing via rake" or "via administration UI" considering that the via Rake option is only necessary/useful for very large instances
  3. Remove the section describing the 1MiB file size limit because this is actually configurable now and the configuration option is already described at the top of this section as "Maximum file size indexed"
  4. Reduce the extra link back to explaining backfilling data since this is part of the setup process and the big green button we have today which says "Index all projects" is much clearer than the previous user experience.
