Summary: [DOC] Point out that view specs render, well, a view

Initial Comment:
In retrospect, it's obvious that "render 'people/show'" in a view spec will render the view app/views/people/show.html.erb.  I mean, it would have to.  It couldn't be any other way.  There's no way it can look at the 'show' action for people_controller and divine what template is being rendered, because views are specified independently of controllers.  "render 'people/show'" has nothing to do with the people controller or the show action.  That's a file path, there, is what I'm saying.  Obviously.

Nonetheless, I spent two hours rediscovering this obvious fact, and hence, this patch.
