Drop snapshot instructions for autobootstrap fix (#49755)
The "Restore any snapshots as required" step is a trap: it's somewhere between tricky and impossible to restore multiple clusters into a single one. Also add a note about configuring discovery during a rolling upgrade to proscribe any rare cases where you might accidentally autobootstrap during the upgrade.
