Update remote.html.markdown

[puhrez]

these changes were added to reflect what was required to run the tutorial on my local machine. Below is my context for the above changes:

[2016-03-04T18:22:44] micperez in terraform_test  
λ terraform remote config -backend-config="name=puhrez/getting-started"
missing 'access_token' configuration or ATLAS_TOKEN environmental variable

If the error message above mentions requiring or modifying configuration
options, these are set using the `-backend-config` flag. Example:
-backend-config="name=foo" to set the `name` configuration

Hi @xbs13! This is indeed correct for currently released versions, so I'll merge this for now. However, as pointed out in the discussion of #4611, we should treat the requirement for a VCS as a bug, and fix and update this documentation as appropriate once that is complete. Thanks for the pull request!
