DOC: Mention that boolean indexing is impossible for new nullable integer/boolean and string data types when they contain missing values #31537

Description

@tdpetrou

The new data types nullable integer, nullable boolean, and string cannot do boolean indexing when the columns contain missing values.

I searched the pd.NA and the boolean indexing sections and have not seen this mentioned. Users need to be aware of this limitation as it greatly reduces their usability.
