Clarify use of ES_JAVA_OPTS and Docker (#51984)
Backport of #51867.

Tweak the documentation around configuring the heap size when using
Docker, to state that:

- using `ES_JAVA_OPTS` is the preferred method
- Any `ES_JAVA_OPTS` overrides the defaults in `jvm.options`
- It's possible to bind-mount a custom `jvm.options`
