docs: moving the data directory

Browse source 
When moving the data directory of an existing deployment, one needs to be careful to remove the existing containers (`bin/stop` is not enough).

A use case for moving the data directory of an existing deployment is, for example, to move it to a more frequently backed-up location when the user base of the service grows.

## Moving the data directory
If you want to move the data directory of an existing deployment to a different location, run the following commands from the `overleaf-tookit` repository:
1. `bin/stop` to stop the overleaf service
2. `bin/docker-compose rm mongo sharelatex redis` to remove the containers
3. adjust the paths in the `config/overleaf.rc` configuration file (or leave the relative paths and just move the entire `overleaf-toolkit` directory)
4. `bin/init` and `bin/start` to start the overleaf service again
Note: Step 2 is required, since the old mount path of the data directory is stored in the stopped containers and will not update when they are restarted.
