Docs: Remove statement about decoded password

Mitchell Nielsen requested to merge docs-remove-decoded-password-statement into master

What does this MR do?

Discussion: #2378 (comment 440223722)

To quote @dpfuerst:

In particular, I feel that the way how the password is stored within the Kubernetes secret is an "implementation" detail that does not add much value to the documentation.

The statement that the password should be the decoded value ended up causing slight confusion for a user. Secrets being encoded while stored as objects in the cluster is an implementation detail that may not be worth calling out explicitly in the docs and potentially confusing/complicating the matter.

This one is somewhat semantic so definitely open to thoughts/feedback here. Rather than removing the statement, we could alternatively improve the statement to be more clear.
