Clarify sds install profile (#4489)

* Clarify auth variant

This makes it clear that sds-auth is already the 'auth' variant. It
also tries to be more specific about what it does, rather than just
saying 'auth by default'

* Add incompatibility between SDS and control plane auth

* Remove unneeded aside

* Clarify status of control plane security with SDS

No technical issues apparently, just timeline. Also moved to before the
table for clarity.

* Simplify additional security feature table

This improves the clarity of this table by:
* Removing default and minimal , since -auth doesn't add any security
features
* Labeling the first column as security feature
* Changing the names of the profiles to reflect the final profile name
including the -auth, instead of without
