Documentation: "Administration / Replicating NetBox" cache invalidation doesn't work as stated

Proposed Changes

The current "Replicating NetBox" documentation says that the cache of the source machine should be invalidated first before moving NetBox data to a different machine by issueing

# source /opt/netbox/venv/bin/activate
(venv) # python3 manage.py invalidate all

However, the "invalidate" command for "manage.py" doesn't exist anymore in NetBox v3.0.2. Running the latter command yields

Unknown command: 'invalidate'
Type 'manage.py help' for usage.

The documentation should be changed to either contain the new command for invalidating the cache or -- if cache invalidation isn't necessary anymore -- the section about cache invalidation should be removed.

Queryset caching was removed under #6639 in v3.0. Looks like this bit in the documentation was missed.

Thanks for the info and for looking into this.
