docs: slight update to environment docs (#3187)

Browse Source 
## What & why

This update does three things:

1. Adjusts the environment cloning feature availability notice: because
this has been released.
2. Updates the availability notice for environments (to conform with the
standard docusaurus way of doing things): for consistency
3. Add a brief explanation of environment types: because this isn't
documented anywhere

## Sources

The note about how environment types work is sourced from this old
[slack thread (internal to the
team)](https://unleash-community.slack.com/archives/G01MU2Q49QC/p1659600175175769)

## Environment types
All environments in Unleash have a **type**. When you create a new environment, you must also assign it a type.
The built-in environment types are:
- Development
- Test
- Pre-production
- Production
The **production** environment type is special: Unleash will show additional confirmation prompts when you change something that could impact users in environments of this type. The built-in "production" environment is a production-type environment.
The other environment types do not currently have any functionality associated with them. This may change in the future.
## Global and project-level environments
Environments exist on a global level, so they are available to all projects within Unleash. However, every [project](./projects.md) might not need to use every environment. That's why you can also choose which of the global environments should be available within a project.
