docs/backfilling-data: Recommend plain backfills
This bit of documentation can very easily be read as implying that users _ought to_ follow a more complicated process to pause writes and perform an only-changes backfill when upgrading PostgreSQL. My perspective on the matter is that just hitting the "Backfill" button should always be our #1 recommendation because it's easy for users and is the most guaranteed-to-work-in-all-cases option. While many users probably will want the more complicated approach, I want us to be clear that this is an _optimization_ to reduce the time and data usage of a backfill, where the user is deliberately making a tradeoff of doing more setup work and manually making certain guarantees in order to avoid the full backfill.
