Add docs for changing replica set name

XMLWordPrintableJSON

      1. Stop all the servers
      2. Start up each server without the --replSet option, pointing at the correct data directory. If the replica set is a shard or config server, you must start the server without --shardsvr and --configsvr respectively. If we backport this to 3.2, we user must instead include --setParameter=recoverShardingState=false and exclude --configSvrmode
      3. Update the local.system.replset doc on each server with the new replica set name. You have to change every server here.
      4. Shut them down again.
      5. Change the /etc/mongod.conf replSet option to the new name on all the servers.
      6. Start them all up with the original options.
