chore(docs): Emphasize the "may" bit of the backpressure docs (vectordotdev#18457)
Since not all sources, including the `http_server` source, do actually handle back-pressure in the described ways yet. This confused a user that was expecting that the `http_server` source would be returning 429s in the precense of back-pressure. Signed-off-by: Jesse Szwedko <[email protected]>

If a sink's buffer fills up and is configured to provide backpressure, that backpressure will propagate to any connected

transforms, which will also propagate to the sources. The sources attempt to propagate backpressure to

Since Vector allows configuring components as a directed acyclic graph, understanding how backpressure works when there

are multiple sinks or sources involved is important.
