Add recommendation for Deployment when HPA is enabled

Browse Source 
* Advertise that we need to remove `spec.replicas` when a Horizontal Pod
  Autoscaler is active to prevent unnecessary changes in Pod counts during
  Deployment object changes
* Make note that a Deployment that has this value set behave awkwardly if a
  Deployment is scaled manually outside of the Deployment object

`.spec.replicas` is an optional field that specifies the number of desired Pods. It defaults to 1.
Should you manually scale a Deployment, example via `kubectl scale deployment
deployment --replicas=X`, and then you update that Deployment based on a manifest
(for example: by running `kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml`),
then applying that manifest overwrites the manual scaling that you previously did.
If a [HorizontalPodAutoscaler](/docs/tasks/run-application/horizontal-pod-autoscale/) (or any
similar API for horizontal scaling) is managing scaling for a Deployment, don't set `.spec.replicas`.
Instead, allow the Kubernetes
{{< glossary_tooltip text="control plane" term_id="control-plane" >}} to manage the
`.spec.replicas` field automatically.
### Selector
`.spec.selector` is a required field that specifies a [label selector](/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/labels/)
