doc: remove text requiring taskmaps to have equal tasks per node
Problem: In the documentation of the cli --taskmap option it is stated that hostfile and manual taskmaps cannot change the number of tasks assigned to any given node, but this is no longer a requirement. Drop the requirement from the docs.

manual:TASKMAP

An explicit RFC 34 taskmap is provided and used to manually map

task ids to nodes. The provided *TASKMAP* must match the total number
16-
of tasks in the job and the number of tasks per node assigned by
17-
the job shell, so this option is not useful unless the total number
18-
of nodes and tasks per node are known at job submission time.
