Better description of real-memory breaker changes to aggs (#57306)

The old description mentions a setting that we ended up not merging.
The periodic real-memory checks are automatic and do not require
the user to configure any setting.

=== Finer memory control for bucket aggregations
We introduced a new `search.check_buckets_step_size` setting to
better control how the coordinating node allocates memory when aggregating
buckets. The allocation of buckets is now be done in steps, each step
allocating a number of buckets equal to this setting. To avoid an `OutOfMemory`
error, a parent circuit breaker check is performed on allocation.
While building buckets, aggregations will now periodically check the
real-memory circuit breaker before continuing to allocate more buckets. This
allows better responsivity to memory pressure and avoids `OutOfMemory`
situations due to allocating more buckets than the node can handle.
