Extend MongoDB / mlab maintenance in Nightscout documentation for Nightscout 0.11+ #2

Description

@PieterGit

Quite some users run into problems with a full MongoDB. The OpenAps docs have some troubleshooting info https://openaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/Troubleshooting/Rig-NS-communications-troubleshooting.html and more specifc this part on Mlab Maintenance: https://openaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/Troubleshooting/Rig-NS-communications-troubleshooting.html#mlab-maintenance

Thanks to @jpcunningh Nightscout 0.11 will have several new features that can help people maintain their MongoDB and keep within the limits and is much more resilient if you have a full MongoDB. It will also write information about the error in the console log. With Nightscout 0.11 users are able to delete treatments, entries and most importantly delete devicestatus'es from the Nightscout UI. See linked issues below for more information on these new features.

The Nightscout documentation should be extended about MongDB. Things that need to be done:

  • integrate Nightscout maintenance and troubleshooting docs in the Nightscout docs (so that openaps and other APS projects, can link to it instead of embedding it within their documentation)
  • describe the new MongoDB maintenance features with Nightscout 0.11 and how to use them (with screenshots)
  • describe possible options for MongDB hosting (SaaS, own hosted, etc.)
  • ...

I'm hoping a new user like @Dave9111 can work on a PR like this. I'm sure a lot of people can help him if he's unsure about what to write.
