Description

There used to be an issue where if you had two M2M fields pointing to the same model, you couldn't use related_name='+' on both.

This was reported in #15932 and fixed by documenting a workaround [1].

However, the underlying issue was fixed in #21375 so I think we can now remove the mention of the workaround.

Fixed #21491 -- Removed documented workaround for a known issue.

The issue was that two M2M hidden reverse managers
(related_name ending with a '+') could clash with each other.

Refs #21375 and #15932. Thanks Baptiste.
