Add 6.8 to the remote clusters compatibility table
The table does not include 6.8 as it was written before we knew we were releasing it. This commit adds it.

The _gateway nodes_ selection depends on the following criteria:
- *version*: Remote nodes must be compatible with the cluster they are
-registered to. This is subject to the same rules as <<rolling-upgrades>>.
-Any node can communicate with any other node on the same major version (e.g.
-6.0 can talk to any 6.x node). Only nodes on the last minor version of a
-certain major version can communicate with nodes on the following major
-version (e.g. 6.7 can communicate with 7.0, as well as any 7.x node, while
- 6.6 or earlier cannot talk to any 7.x node). Note that version compatibility
