(DOCSP-19027) Clarify how BIC is updated #347

Closed zach-carr closed 2 years ago

Ticket Staged

Expanded the "Install" page to include an Update section, which is basically just a note to use the install guides and replace old versions
Made sure each install guide mentioned replacing old binaries, if they exist (the macOS guide already did this)

I think Windows part is problematic as the default path suggested by the MSI includes version. E.g.:

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Connector for BI\2.14\

It would not make sense to install 2.15 into a dir named 2.14 to have the binaries overwritten. Perhaps it is worth adding that if BIC is installed into a new directory then the user may need to change the configuration of the system services if this is how BIC is launched. This could be applicable to other platforms though.

Thanks @dryabtse! Updated the Windows section to mention this. Would you mind taking another look?
