Removes non-backup rollback from upgrade kibana (#189011)

FIx https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/158117

Removes section on rolling back without a snapshot.

The changes made to kibana saved objects migration make the process of
rolling back without a snapshot too complex for customers to do alone.
Furthermore, rolling back without a snapshot is not recommended or
supported.

==== (Not supported) Roll back without a backup snapshot
WARNING: Rolling back without a backup snapshot is not supported and will be removed in a future version of {kib}.
. To make sure no {kib} instances are performing an upgrade migration, shut down all {kib} instances.
. {ref}/snapshots-take-snapshot.html[Take a snapshot] that includes the `kibana` feature state. By default, snapshots include the `kibana` feature state.
. Delete the version-specific indices created by the failed upgrade migration.
+
For example, to rollback from a failed upgrade
to v7.12.0, enter:
+
[source,sh]
--------------------------------------------
DELETE /.kibana_7.12.0_*,.kibana_task_manager_7.12.0_*
--------------------------------------------
. Inspect the output of `GET /_cat/aliases`.
+
If the `.kibana` or `.kibana_task_manager` aliases are missing, you must create them manually.
Find the latest index from the output of `GET /_cat/indices` and create the missing alias to point to the latest index.
For example, if the `.kibana` alias is missing, and the latest index is `.kibana_3`, create a new alias using:
+
[source,sh]
--------------------------------------------
POST /.kibana_3/_aliases/.kibana
--------------------------------------------
. To remove the write block from the roll back indices, enter:
+
[source,sh]
--------------------------------------------
PUT /.kibana,.kibana_task_manager/_settings {"index.blocks.write": false}
--------------------------------------------
. Start {kib} on the older version you want to roll back to.
