Explain updating enterprise users from community build discards user's enterprise auth details

[colinbarry]

Release note

PR #3867 fixed an issue where enterprise user auth details would be discarded if a user was edited after an enterprise licence has expired. However, there is one case where this is still an issue - if a customer runs the community build (i.e, not the enterprise build with a community licence), then user information can be discarded.

This PR warns against doing this.
