Add a note to the "perf counter" section of doc/dev/perf_counters.rst
that explains that this feature was introduced in the Reef release of
Ceph. This note will prevent us from accidentally backporting
perf-counter-related PRs to Quincy.

Perf counters
===============
+.. note:: Perf counters were introduced in the Reef release of Ceph.
+
The perf counters provide generic internal infrastructure for gauges and counters. The counted values can be both integer and float. There is also an "average" type (normally float) that combines a sum and num counter which can be divided to provide an average.
The intention is that this data will be collected and aggregated by a tool like ``collectd`` or ``statsd`` and fed into a tool like ``graphite`` for graphing and analysis. Also, note the :doc:`../mgr/prometheus` and the :doc:`../mgr/telemetry`.
