This PR creates a reusable snippet admonition, explaining the current and future state of NTLM support in Windows clients and includes it in the relevant documentation.

It will need to be revisited, likely after TrueNAS/Samba adds local Kerberos support.

Thanks for contributing to TrueNAS documentation! By opening a Pull Request, you're acknowledging that your changes will be distributed under the Creative Commons 4.0 license.
