Scope Cloud Topics shadow link limitation to versions earlier than 26.2

[Lazin]

Description

Shadow links support Cloud Topics starting in Redpanda v26.2. This updates the Cloud Topics limitations partial so the "shadow links do not support Cloud Topics" limitation is scoped to versions earlier than 26.2, following the repo's existing version-scoped wording convention.
