Description

**Description:**

When Logstash is upgrade via RPM/DEB. It silently removes all non-built-in plugins that have been installed by the user. These plugins need to be reinstalled manually after upgrading.

Updating the Logstash docs to warn users about this behavior, in addition to (https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/15329), would be helpful to users.
