doc: restrict supported Ceph versions 

As discussed at the PTG [0] and subsequent Cinder meetings [1],
set a minimum supported version of Ceph.  Also specify that we
expect the Ceph client and server versions to be in alignment.

Ceph architecture
.. note::
**Supported Ceph versions**
The current `release cycle model for Ceph
<https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/releases/general/>`_
targets a new release yearly on 1 March, with there being at most
two active stable releases at any time.
For a given OpenStack release, *Cinder supports the current Ceph
active stable releases plus the two prior releases.*
For example, at the time of the OpenStack Wallaby release in
April 2021, the Ceph active supported releases are Pacific and
Octopus. The Cinder Wallaby release therefore supports Ceph
Pacific, Octopus, Nautilus, and Mimic.
Additionally, it is expected that the version of the Ceph client
available to Cinder or any of its associated libraries (os-brick,
cinderlib) is aligned with the Ceph server version. Mixing server
and client versions is *unsupported* and may lead to anomalous behavior.
