Clone appliance node

Summary

For Node clone source and destination needs to be on the same PGE version. Docs states that the replacement appliance may need to be upgraded. But it is also possible that it needs to be downgraded. Hance I suggest the following change:

From: You have verified that the StorageGRID Appliance Installer version on the replacement appliance matches the software version of your StorageGRID system, upgrading the StorageGRID Appliance Installer firmware, if necessary.

To: You have verified that the StorageGRID Appliance Installer version on the replacement appliance matches the software version of your StorageGRID system, upgrading or downgrading the StorageGRID Appliance Installer firmware, if necessary.
