Adds isolated instance mode description

+isolated mode
+------
+
+Since version :doc:`3.3.0 </release/3.3.0>`, a new ``isolated`` option is added to instance configuration.
+
+The option takes boolean values, by default it is set to ``false``.
+``isolated: true`` moves the instance it has been applied at to the **isolated** mode.
+
+The isolated mode allows the user to temporarily isolate an instance and perform maintenance activities on it. 
+
+In the isolated mode:
+
+*   The instance is moved to the read-only state
+*   iproto stops listening for new connections
+*   iproto drops all the current connections
+*   The instance is disconnected from all the replication upstreams
+*   Other replicaset members exclude the isolated instance from the replication upstreams
+
+..  NOTE::
+
+    Isolated instance can't be bootstrapped (a local snapshot is required to start).
+
+**Example**
+
+    The example below shows how to isolate an instance:
