resolves #8420

[jtcohen6]

It appears that there's been a drift in documentation across these two snippets, which have been updated over the past few months:

• _connection-profiles snippet (correct)
• profiles.yml snippet

docs.getdbt.com/website/snippets/_connection-profiles.md

Line 16 in 2ce7672

dbt will search the current working directory for the `profiles.yml` file and will default to the `~/.dbt/` directory if not found.

docs.getdbt.com/website/snippets/_profiles.yml.md

Line 26 in 2ce7672

2. Project root directory — Project-specific credentials.

The former (correct) reflects the behavior in Core
The latter (incorrect) is the current behavior in Fusion -> dbt-labs/dbt-fusion#1205
