Subject: [PATCH 1/2] aws ebs csi: document (retained) pv(c) removal

volumes (pv) (safery measure). This documents how to remove PV(C)s and
corresponding AWS EBS Volume (to avoid accumulating hangling resources
and costs)

+## How to delete volumes with `recalimPolicy: retain`
+1. Delete pvc:
+```
+kubectl delete pvc <pvc-name>
+```
+
+2. Verify PV is `released`
+```
+kubectl get pv <pv-name>
+```
+
+3. Manually remove EBS in AWS
+    1. Go to AWS GUI and List EBS Volumes
+    1. Filter by tag `ebs.csi.aws.com/cluster=true`
+    1. Identify the volume associated with your PV (check `kubernetes.io/created-for/pv/name` tag of the EBS Volume)
+    1. Verify that EBS Volume is `Available`
+    1. Delete EBS Volume
+
+4. Delete the PV
+```
+kubectl delete pv <pv-name>
+```
+
+5. Remove Finalizers (if necessary)
+If the PV remains in a Terminating state, remove its finalizers:
+```
+kubectl patch pv <pv-name> -p '{"metadata":{"finalizers":null}}'
+```
