Clarification for local mounts in the context of DR (#16218) 

* Clarification for local mounts in the context of DR

The docs were unclear on this point, so @russparsloe and I looked into it.

Local mounts are indeed replicated to DR secondaries.

This is the opposite of what it says on https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/tutorials/enterprise/performance-replication#disaster-recovery 
> Local backend mounts are not replicated and their use will require existing DR mechanisms if DR is necessary in your implementation.
So that page will also need updating

* changelog

* fix changelog syntax for local mount with DR (#16218)
