[Security][9.2 & Serverless]: Improvements to threshold rule documentation (elastic#3492)
Fixes elastic#2110 The UI has copy and visual cues that specify the limit of fields that users can specify in the **Group by** field, so mentioning that info in the docs is not necessary. I did however expand the note under the step 2c to include the information [in this comment](elastic/security-team#8240 (comment)). [Preview](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/3492/solutions/security/detect-and-alert/create-detection-rule#create-threshold-rule) - See the note under step 2c

Nested fields are not supported for use with **Group by**.

Consider the following when using the **Group by** field:
146+
- Nested fields are not supported.
147+
- High cardinality in the fields or a high number of matching documents can result in a rule timeout or a circuit breaker error from {{es}}.

4. Use the **Count** field to limit alerts by cardinality of a certain field.
