Rock Update block should detect current Azure DTU ceiling and warn user if it's too low.

Core

If Rock is running on Azure, there is a stored procedure that will let us determine what the current DTU limits the database is configured for. For the v11 upgrade, even though the upgrade notes mention bumping up the DTU, we still had a lot of people report errors after upgrade that were because they didn't notice/read and didn't bump up the DTU.

I think it would be useful if the Rock Update block checked what the current DTU was and if it's below a certain value present a warning to the user (not an error, let them go ahead if they want). This could either be an alert div on the page or a bootstrap modal dialog asking them to confirm the upgrade even though their DTU might be to low.
