This PR adds a disclaimer to the object stores documentation clarifying
that the Barman Cloud Plugin does not independently test all
authentication methods supported by barman-cloud. The plugin's
responsibility is limited to passing the provided credentials to
barman-cloud, which then handles authentication according to its own
implementation.

This documentation change was decided by the maintainers as part of the
discussion around Azure Default Credentials support (#662).

:::note Authentication Methods
The Barman Cloud Plugin does not independently test all authentication methods
supported by `barman-cloud`. The plugin's responsibility is limited to passing
the provided credentials to `barman-cloud`, which then handles authentication
according to its own implementation. Users should refer to the
[Barman Cloud documentation](https://docs.pgbarman.org/release/latest/) to
verify that their chosen authentication method is supported and properly
configured.
