docs: hint about creating a new virtual environment for major upgrades
While not strictly necessary, it may be interesting to start from a new
virtualenv rather than upgrading inside the old one. This will remove old
packages once installed manually but no longer necessary. At the same time,
it makes a rollback of the upgrade process more easy.
Hint about it in the upgrade documentation.
