doc: Remove reference to trigger file regarding promotion

The wording changed here comes from 991bfe11d2, when the only way to
trigger a promotion was with a trigger file.  There are more options to
achieve this operation these days, like the SQL function pg_promote() or
the command `pg_ctl promote`, so it is confusing to assume that only a
trigger file is able to do the work.

Note also that promote_trigger_file has been removed as of cd4329d939
in 16~.
