added note for allocation during hot phase (elastic#51149)
ILM takes care of allocation during warm and cold phases, but it doesn't take care of it for new indices (hot phase). We should add a note mentioning that fact, as if the user wants a hot / warm architecture they should ensure new indices are allocated by default on hot nodes, or they might end up on warm/cold nodes.

NOTE: As allocate action is not allowed in `hot` phase, the initial allocation for the index should be done manually or via index templates, as ILM won't take care of index allocation during `hot` phase.
