docs: block cluster pause when PITR or Data Migration is active

[xboxeer]

What's changed

Clusters with Point-in-Time Restore (PITR) enabled or a Data Migration job running can no longer be paused directly. The pause request is rejected with a clear error until users explicitly disable PITR / stop the migration job.

Documentation changes

Adds two new bullets to the Limitations section of tidb-cloud/pause-or-resume-tidb-cluster.md.
