 Description   
Original Downstream Change Summary

Mentions of the ability to configure `numInitialChunks` parameter must be removed from documentation.

Description of Linked Ticket

The numInitialChunks parameter can be used to spread chunks across shards when sharding an empty collection with hashed shard key. Considering that the auto splitter gone away and that the number of chunks does not matter anymore, this option has no real value anymore.
