We instruct users to update the CRDs when upgrading to 1.4 and 1.5 which involves using `kubectl apply` to apply the CRD configuration. The CRD configuration generated by `velero install` includes fields which are not valid when running Kubernetes v1.14 or earlier. We instruct users to work around this when doing a customised velero install, but not when upgrading to newer versions. This change updates the upgrade instructions for v1.4 and v1.5 to include the use of `--validate=false` flag when running `kubectl apply`. See #2077 and #2311 for more context.

- Take backups of your cluster and restore in case of loss.
- Migrate cluster resources to other clusters.
- Replicate your production cluster to development and testing clusters.
Velero consists of:
- A server that runs on your cluster
- A command-line client that runs locally
