Update synchronize.py, mention variable ansible_rsync_path needed for different local rsync binary (#41870)

* Update synchronize.py

If you want a different rsync binary on the local side, you need to set task variable ansible_rsync_path.
See examples.

Variable ansible_rsync_path looks to not be documented anywhere. If documented, needs to be said that is does not belong to synchronise options, instead belongs to tasks. (Sorry, I have no better wording)
