[DOC] Don't include searchable snapshot ILM action in both hot and cold phases (#82013)

As outlined in elastic/elasticsearch#81604, including the `searchable_snapshot` action in both the hot and cold phases can result in indices not automatically migrating to the cold tier during the cold phase.

This adds a related warning.
