recommendation about which version to use.

* Clarify remote state storage w/ TFE [skip ci]

**Kind: Enhanced**
The remote backend stores state and runs operations remotely. When running
`terraform plan` or `terraform apply` with this backend, the actual execution
occurs in Terraform Enterprise, with log output streaming to the local terminal.
To use this backend you need a Terraform Enterprise account on
[app.terraform.io](https://app.terraform.io) or have a private instance of
-> **Note:** We recommend using Terraform v0.11.13 or newer with this
backend. This backend requires either a Terraform Enterprise account on
[app.terraform.io](https://app.terraform.io) or a private instance of
Terraform Enterprise (version v201809-1 or newer).
The remote backend stores state and runs operations in Terraform Enterprise.
When used with a Pro or Premium tier Terraform Enterprise account, operations
like `terraform plan` or `terraform apply` are executed in Terraform
Enterprise's run environment, with log output streaming to the local terminal.
Remote plans and applies use variable values from the associated Terraform
Enterprise workspace.
When used with a free Terraform Enterprise account, operations are executed on
the local machine and state is stored in Terraform Enterprise.
## Command Support
Currently the remote backend supports the following Terraform commands:
- `apply`
- `console`
- `console` (supported in Terraform >= v0.11.12)
- `destroy` (requires manually setting `CONFIRM_DESTROY=1` on the workspace)
- `fmt`
- `get`
- `graph`
- `import`
- `graph` (supported in Terraform >= v0.11.12)
- `import` (supported in Terraform >= v0.11.12)
- `init`
- `output`
- `plan`
