Fixes DOC-11224

Summary of changes:

  • Provide more context on asymmetric partitions and how they're no longer a thing in CockroachDB v23.1+. (Since that's quite an old version, we don't bother mentioning the version numbers.)

@andrewbaptist this is kind of a random little PR, I'm warming up to work on Leader Leases docs for v24.3

I noticed we didn't mention (except in v23.1 release notes) that we convert asymmetric network partitions into symmetric, which increases resiliency (AIUI).

Def open to feedback on the language used here, etc. Not sure if the way I described our handling of asymmetric partitions is quite right, please advise.

See comment. I think it is a little confusing the way the last paragraph is phrased. I'm not exactly sure how to present this, but potentially it needs a whole blog post to describe when there is unavailability.

probably could use a longer form blog post - i think your suggested text def makes it clearer than before at least
