Flux reconcilation failed after upgrade with "flux install" command

## The problem

Reported in Flux CD: Flux reconcilation failed after upgrade with "flux install" command.

## The fix

If Flux reconciliation fails after running 'flux install' to upgrade, it is because you bootstrapped Flux in Git and then overwrote the controllers with install. To upgrade a Git-bootstrapped Flux, rerun bootstrap, not install: flux bootstrap github (or your provider) with the same flags. Also follow the version upgrade procedure: before upgrading to v2.7, run flux migrate. See the v2.7.0 upgrade notes at fluxcd.io for the full procedure.
