doc: Upgrade placement first

Browse Source 
It has long been *recommended* that the placement service be upgraded
before nova services, but scenarios where it isn't have never really
been explored or tested.  Following (yet another) discussion on the
topic [1] it was decided that we are best served by *requiring* that
placement be updated first.  This simplifies our test/support matrix,
and the code we write to consume placement.  It also makes the operator
experience cleaner by giving them a clear and unambiguous script to
follow.

This change set rewords the upgrade document accordingly.
