Add footnote about the indexing performance differences between Serverless and ECH

^1^ In {{serverless-short}}, data durability is achieved through an object store rather than local replicas. Writes are grouped into batches of 200ms to ensure consistency and persistence, which means that single-document indexing can appear slower than in {{ech}}. However, this design makes {{serverless-short}} more scalable and resilient to high indexing loads without relying on in-cluster replication for fault tolerance.
