Make migrations more clear in backup documentation

Browse source 
Summary: Not sure this would have avoided the issue, but I remember a couple of other people asking about migrations, so try to make it more clear/obvious that the backup tools are also useful for migrations. Although this is reasonably obvious when you think about it, it's not very obvious when you're trying to do a migration, and maybe making it more explicit will help.

Test Plan: Read new documentation.

This document discusses approaches for backing up this data.
If you are migrating from one machine to another, you can generally follow the
same steps you would if you were creating a backup and then restoring it, you
will just backup the old machine and then restore the data onto the new

Most of Phabricator's data is stored in MySQL, and it's the most important thing
to back up. You can run `bin/storage dump` to get a dump of all the MySQL

Since most of this data is compressible, it may be helpful to run it through
gzip prior to storage. For example:
