Improve documentation around doing secondary reads in sharded clusters

      Description

      In these pages:

      https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/read-preference/

      https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/read-preference-mechanics/#read-preference-for-sharded-clusters

      There is no explanation/warning that reading from a secondary can potentially opt the request out from shard versioning protocol with the default read concern of available. It is somewhat hinted in the read concern page:

      https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/read-concern-available/

      Perhaps this should be mentioned in the read preference page (at least in the sharded version)
