Description:
We should alter all references to the master.info file in the 5.6 manual,
so that we instead reference "master info repository" and link to that
section of the manual? It seems that we may also need to create a page
that goes over that, no? I see the variable:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-options-slave.html#option_mysqld_master...

I don't see a page that goes over how it works when you use the =TABLE
option either, namely the mysql.slave_master_info table. Perhaps I'm missing it?

An example of a page where we still reference only the master.info file is:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/password-logging.html

"Replication slaves store the password for the replication master in the
|master.info| file. Restrict this file to be accessible only to the
database administrator." 

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
See description.
