[Reporting/Docs] User guidance to enable reporting on Cloud (memory constraints)

[jloleysens]

Summary

Today, when a new Kibana is started and a user attempts to generate a PDF/PNG report it will fail due to CPU/memory constraints. This contribution adds guidance to our docs. In future work we will drive this UX from the Kibana UI to ensure that we don't fail in production (as we do today).

Hi @jloleysens , Platform (cloud) writer here. Sorry I was away when this was discussed, but this messaging doesn't work on a few levels.

1. Conceptually, there aren't "kibana deployments" - there are Kibana instances that are part of a deployment.
2. They don't go to "Cloud management", they "manage their deployment". (see screenshot below)

I would recommend re-writing this to

NOTE: For Elastic Cloud deployments, Kibana instances require a minimum of 2GB RAM to generate PDF or PNG reports. To change Kibana sizing, {ess-console}[edit the deployment].

or

NOTE: For Elastic Cloud deployments, Kibana requires a minimum of 2GB RAM to generate PDF or PNG reports. To change Kibana instances, {ess-console}[edit the deployment].

I assume the link is sending them to the deployment management menu (Cloud UI)?
