Reinstate recommendation for ≥ 3 master-eligible nodes. (#27204)

In the docs for 1.7 ([doc][doc-1.7], [src][src-1.7]) there was a recommendation
for at least 3 master-eligible nodes "in critical clusters" but this was lost
when that page was updated in 2.0 ([doc][doc-2.0], [src][src-2.0]). I'd like to
reinstate this.

To be able to remain available when one of the master-eligible nodes fails,
clusters should have at least three master-eligible nodes, with
`minimum_master_nodes` set accordingly. A <<rolling-upgrades,rolling upgrade>>,
performed without any downtime, also requires at least three master-eligible
nodes to avoid the possibility of data loss if a network split occurs while the
upgrade is in progress.
