Fix ambiguity with settings for search_backpressure (#6655)

* Fix ambiguity with settings for search_backpressure

This page is lacking in clearly stating how to enable/configure search_backpressure. While it may be domain knowledge that cluster settings always use `_cluster/settings`, many people that administrate or use OpenSearch are not full time OpenSearch admins and this info is very easy to document.

# Search backpressure
Search backpressure is a mechanism used to identify resource-intensive search requests and cancel them when the node is under duress. If a search request on a node or shard has breached the resource limits and does not recover within a certain threshold, it is rejected. These thresholds are dynamic and configurable through [cluster settings](#search-backpressure-settings).

If a search request on a node or shard has breached the resource limits and does not recover within a certain threshold, it is rejected. These thresholds are dynamic and configurable through [cluster settings](#search-backpressure-settings) using the `/_cluster/settings` API endpoint.

Search backpressure adds several settings to the standard OpenSearch cluster settings. These settings are dynamic, so you can change the default behavior of this feature without restarting your cluster.
To configure these settings, send a PUT request to `/_cluster/settings`:
```json
PUT /_cluster/settings
{
"persistent": {
"search_backpressure": {
"mode": "monitor_only"
}
}
}
```
