DOCS-2646 / 26 / Docs 2646 update release notes wrt 2 fa changes made on middleware side

[DjP-iX]

• Add a dedicated Two-Factor Authentication tab to the Upgrading TrueNAS section of VersionNotes.md, explaining the new 30/60-second interval restriction, who is affected (only API-set intervals; UI-configured accounts are safe), what the upgrade does to affected accounts, and how to re-enroll before/after upgrading (including UI and console one-time-password recovery for 2FA-required/STIG systems).
  • Remove the TrueNAS Apps tab to make room (it held no 26-specific upgrade content — just a general "apps are unversioned" note and a marketing banner): relocate the admonition into Preparing to Upgrade and drop the banner.
• Add a brief Known Issues bullet linking to the new tab.
• Tighten 2FA interval wording in ManageGlobal2FA.md: remove the "(unless modified)" / "(by default)" hedges, since the UI has no interval control and always uses 30 seconds.
