Pull request overview

This PR updates Vault’s MSSQL database secrets engine documentation (across multiple maintained doc versions) to reflect a revocation behavior change that avoids requiring sysadmin, and adds a corresponding entry to the Vault 2.x release notes.

Changes:

• Add required MSSQL permissions (VIEW ANY DEFINITION, VIEW SERVER STATE, and VIEW DEFINITION) to the “minimum functionality” setup snippets.
• Document a limitation of the default revocation behavior when user creation occurs in a different database than the one targeted by connection_url.
• Add a Vault 2.x release note describing the MSSQL revocation fix and reduced privilege requirements.
