docs(companion): Document USR2 reexec limitation

Browse Source 
Hot reexec runs old and new masters concurrently, so each runs its own
companion manager and every companion runs twice -- harmful for
singletons like a scheduler. Document the limitation and the SIGHUP
alternative.

## Limitations
Hot reexec (`SIGUSR2` zero-downtime upgrade) is not supported with
companions. During the overlap the old and new masters each run their own
companion manager, so every companion runs twice. For singletons such as a
scheduler this means duplicate work (e.g. double-fired jobs). Stop and
restart the master instead of reexec'ing when companions are configured, or
keep singleton companions out of the companion set. A graceful reload
(`SIGHUP`) is fine: it restarts the single manager in place.
