Add a note about existing apps for ActiveStorage public access.

Every existing file needs to be individually updated to have a
publicly-readable ACL (at least, this is true of S3 and DigitalOcean
Spaces), otherwise the files will fail to load.

This bit me when I was trying to introduce `public: true` in my
production Rails app.

I realize the docs already mention consulting the cloud service docs to
ensure that your bucket is "properly configured for public access", but
that's rather vague and I didn't really understand the potential issues
with individual files' public read permissions from the S3 docs.

Make sure your buckets are properly configured for public access. See docs on how to enable public read permissions for [Amazon S3](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/user-guide/block-public-access-bucket.html), [Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/access-control/making-data-public#buckets), and [Microsoft Azure](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-manage-access-to-resources#set-container-public-access-level-in-the-azure-portal) storage services.
When converting an existing application to use `public: true`, make sure to update every individual file in the bucket to be publicly-readable before switching over.
