PRs #1456 and #1468 add conflicting instructions to the Elasticsearch page when it comes to allocating memory

Initially we start with 16GB (pre) 24GB (max) at /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options.d/limit-ram.options

But later we describe that if mastodon crashes during indices we should allocate "more" memory: 2GB (max) at /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options.d/ram.options

This means that someone following this tutorial will actually reduce their memory allocation, and have their memory allocation defined twice, not sure which one is picked or if this works at all.

This PR removes the double instructions

Additionally I think the default of 24GB memory max is way too much, but out of scope of this PR :)
