Resolve "Add documentation for Opensearch Indexing paused."

John McGuire requested to merge 364106-add-customer-messaging-for-opensearch-indexing-paused into master

What does this MR do and why?

While investigating customer(s) reporting that they could not use OpenSearch with GitLab 15.0 #363714 (closed). The error blocked the installation. 'Elasticsearch version not compatible.' This bug caused elasticsearch to be reported as the distribution even when OpenSearch was the distribution used.

This MR:

  • Adds the instructions for unpausing indexing
  • Clarifies the Integration note for Integrations to include Opensearch.
  • Add an Upgrade note for the error that a customer gets if the version check fails.

The intent is to cover scenarios where a customer might search for the error while also making the path broad enough to cover future scenarios.
