Remove redundant section from .vale.ini

Amy Qualls requested to merge 204765-docs-fix-vale-ini into master

What does this MR do?

The .vale.ini file for linting tests contained a section for instructions on how to lint just *.md files, and another section for linting both *.md and *.txt files. If you included conflicting instructions in those sections, Vale became very confused and did not apply tests in the manner you might expect.

This commit removes the redundant section so test results will be predictable and less error-prone.
