What is included in this PR?

Adds a warning to the S3 documentation explaining that an S3 outage can prevent devices from downloading new forms and attachments, even though Central can continue accepting submissions.

Fixes #2055

Thanks for the PR. I think it would read better if slotted in as the second to last bullet.

  • If S3-compatible storage goes down, Central will still accept submissions, but devices may not receive updates to forms with attachments, and integrations or dashboards that use attachments may fail.
  • If you opt into S3-compatible storage, you must design a backup and restore strategy for that storage.

@yanokwa Thanks! I've moved the warning to the second-to-last bullet and updated the wording as suggested.
