Keith Maxwell 7fbacf920d Remove misleading statement passwords must be same (#49798)
* Remove misleading statement passwords must be same

Since 2.4 Ansible has supported multiple vault passwords:
<https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/vault.html#multiple-vault-passwords>

Meaning lines like the following are misleading:

> The password used with vault currently must be the same for all files you wish
> to use together at the same time.

-- `docs/docsite/rst/user_guide/vault.rst`

To demonstrate this with Ansible 2.7, save the following as `example.yaml`:

```
- name: Display output from two vaults with different passwords
  hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  vars_files: [one.yaml, two.yaml]
  tasks:
    - name: View secret from one.yaml vault
      debug: { var: one }
    - name: View secret from two.yaml vault
      debug: { var: two }
```

Then run the three following commands choosing two different passwords:

```
$ echo 'one: 1' | ansible-vault encrypt --vault-id id1@prompt --output=one.yaml
$ echo 'two: 2' | ansible-vault encrypt --vault-id id2@prompt --output=two.yaml
$ ansible-playbook --vault-id id1@prompt --vault-id id2@prompt example.yaml
```

`ansible-vault` stores an ID in plain text in the vault file.

* Remove note about default in Ansible 2.1
