 Description   

Currently we have the document to convert a replica set to a sharded cluster as below:

However, it doesn't cover the scenario when the replica set has authentication enabled.

For a sharded cluster, the user credentials are stored in the admin database on the config servers, so if auth is enabled, there would be some extra steps to dump the user credentials from the original replica set, and then restore them to the config servers via mongos.

Hi linda.qin@mongodb.com, I have a PR for these updates that's ready for review - https://github.com/10gen/docs-mongodb-internal/pull/2344

This ended up being a pretty large refactor of the page, so apologies in advance for the size of the PR. I left a comment here with a few specific questions. Would you mind taking a pass at this and letting me know what you think?

Thanks!
Jeff
