docs: suggest 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.

Update the upgrade instructions to this effect.

+For major upgrades, e.g. from 0.3.x to 0.4.x, it is recommended to create a new
+virtual environment, rather than reusing the old. For minor upgrades, e.g.
+within the 0.4.x range, this is not really necessary (but equally fine).
+
+To create a new virtual environment, please refer to the appropriate
+installation page for details. After creating and activating the new virtual
+environment, proceed with the rest of the upgrade process starting from the next
+section.
+
+To reuse the same virtual environment, first activate it, then verify that you
+are using the correct environment by running::
 
     pip freeze
 
 This will list all packages installed in the current environment. If
-Kallithea isn't listed, activate the correct virtual environment.
-See the appropriate installation page for details.
