improve documentation for secrets

I was struggling on how to change a the api basic auth password for my cluster and found this to be the only way to do it. If there is an easier way, let me know and i can adapt the docs again :)

+## Workaround for changing secrets with type "Secret"
+As it is currently not possible to modify or delete + create secrets of type "Secret" with the CLI you have to modify them directly in the kops s3 bucket.
+
+They are stored /clustername/secrets/ and contain the secret as a base64 encoded string. To change the secret base64 encode it with:
+
+```echo -n 'MY_SECRET' | base64```
+
+and replace it in the "Data" field of the file. Verifiy your change with get secrets and perform a rolling update of the cluster.
