Update source/tutorial/deploy-replica-set.txt
Fixed the requirements section to agree with the docs here: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/replication/ The requirement for a set is two or more, but the tutorial describes three, and it led to some confusion in the community: http://serverfault.com/questions/462780/does-a-mongodb-replica-set-require-at-least-2-or-3-members

A replica set requires three distinct systems so that each system can run its own instance
31-
of :program:`mongod`. For development systems you can run all three
32-
instances of the :program:`mongod` process on a local system. (e.g. a
33-
laptop) or within a virtual instance. For production environments, you
34-
should endeavor to maintain as much separation between the members as possible. For
35-
example, when using VMs in Production, each member should live on
36-
separate host servers, served by redundant power circuits, and with
37-
redundant network paths.
