More detail on mandatory task arguments (#35740)
* More detail on mandatory task arguments
Current documentation notes that the arguments 'task_id' and 'owner' are
both mandatory. This might confuse new users to believe that both arguments
require user input to avoid an error. But 'owner' has a default default_value,
so this argument should be less of a concern for user task and dag creation.
This commit aims to communicate that.
* fix typo
* Update fundamentals.rst
