Clarify when new rate rules apply to existing instances and routers
- Upgrade note: the new precedence applies to existing instances when stopped and started and to routers when recreated with cleanup; a restart without cleanup keeps the router NIC rates; rates can go up or down - Drop the claim that existing VPC routers keep a previous public limit and the stop/start wording for the router public NIC

When upgrading to 24.0.0, the network rate that applies to the existing

networks and NICs is recorded using the rules that applied before the
