ec2_asg: adding explanation of replace_all_instances (#46694)

* adding explanation of replace_all_instances

How does "replace_all_instances" work? does it increase the number of instances by 1 in the Load balancer and it scales in a server and waits for it to complete its health check, OR   does it terminate a node a that causes an autoscale event to happen and then adds a new server?

It increases the ASG size by C(replace_batch_size), waits for the new instances to be up and running.
After that, it terminates a batch of old instances, waits for the replacements, and repeats, until all old instances are replaced.
Once that's done the ASG size is reduced back to the expected size.
