Add/increase severity of warning in documentation of groupBy()

groupBy()/groupByKey() is notorious for being a very convenient API that can lead to poor performance when used incorrectly.

This PR just makes it clear that users should be cautious not to rely on this API when they really want a different (more performant) one, such as reduceByKey().

(Note that one source of confusion is the name; this groupBy() is not the same as a SQL GROUP-BY, which is used for aggregation and is more similar in nature to Spark's reduceByKey().)
