add FCI requirements for domain joined cluster
Per discussion with Sourabh Agarwal we need to document the domain join vs workgroup cluster requirement for SQL FCI. Adding the following statement: - SQL Server failover cluster instance requires the cluster nodes to be domain joined. 1. SQL FCI on workgroup clusters is not supported. 2. SQL FCI on Multi-Domain cluster is also not supported. 3. SQL FCI on Domain + Workgroup Clusters is not supported.
