Add note about multi data path and disk threshold deciders

Prior to 2.0 we summed up the available space on all disk on a node
due to the raid-0 like behavior. Now we don't do this anymore and use the
min & max disk space to make decisions.

Closes #13106

NOTE: Prior to 2.0.0, when using multiple data paths, the disk threshold
decider only factored in the usage across all data paths (if you had two
data paths, one with 50b out of 100b free (50% used) and another with
40b out of 50b free (80% used) it would see the node's disk usage as 90b
out of 150b). In 2.0.0, the minimum and maximum disk usages are tracked
separately.
