Document the reduction in fault detection timeouts (#40200)
The new cluster coordination subsystem introduced in 7.0 will only keep an unresponsive node in the cluster for 30 seconds, whereas in earlier versions it might have remained in the cluster for 90 seconds. This commit adds a note to the migration documentation to that effect.

==== Reduced default timeouts for fault detection

By default the <<cluster-fault-detection,cluster fault detection>> subsystem

now considers a node to be faulty if it fails to respond to 3 consecutive

pings, each of which times out after 10 seconds. Thus a node that is

unresponsive for longer than 30 seconds is liable to be removed from the

cluster. Previously the default timeout for each ping was 30 seconds, so that

an unresponsive node might be kept in the cluster for over 90 seconds.
