Document the possible issue of searching binary file

Changzheng Liu requested to merge 301083_doc_binary_file_search into master

What does this MR do?

This is related to #301083 (closed) and gitlab-elasticsearch-indexer#72 (closed). We have added a change where all the files are searchable by their names, gitlab-elasticsearch-indexer!99 (merged). However, if users do not re-indexing everything from scratch again, only newly added or updated binary files can be found. The MR is to document this known issue.

I also restructured the documentation a little bit.
