Remove obsolete instructions from information on prototype applications

Summary: Most of this document is no longer relevant, since we're happy to work on prototypes if you're paying us and no longer have any meaningful free support.

Test Plan: Read document.

Phabricator includes //prototype applications//, which are applications in an
early stage of development.
IMPORTANT: The upstream does not offer support for these applications.
When we begin working on a new application, we usually implement it as a
prototype first. This allows us to get a better sense of how the application
might work and integrate with other applications, and what technical and product

If you're interested in previewing upcoming applications, you can use the
`phabricator.show-prototypes` configuration setting to enable prototypes.
Feedback on Prototypes
======================
We're usually interested in this sort of feedback on prototypes:
- {icon check, color=green} **Use Cases**: If we're building something that
you think you'd use, we'd love to hear about your use cases for it. This can
help us figure out what features to add and how users may think about, use,
and integrate the application.
- {icon check, color=green} **General Interest**: Is an application something
you're looking forward to? Knowing which applications users are interested
in can help us set priorities.
We're usually **not** interested in this sort of feedback on prototypes:
- {icon times, color=red} **Support Requests**: We do not support these
applications. Use them at your own risk, or wait for them to leave the
prototype phase.
- {icon times, color=red} **Bug Reports**: We know these applications don't
work well yet, and usually know about most of the open bugs. Even if we
don't, whatever isn't working yet may change completely before the
application leaves the prototype phase.
- {icon times, color=red} **Contributions / Pull Requests**: These
applications are usually in too early a state to accept contributions. Let
us know about your use case, but wait for release to send code.
Overall, using prototypes makes it easier for us to explore and develop
application ideas, and to share a preview of what's coming in the future with
users, but prototypes are not yet full applications and we do not provide
support until applications leave the prototype phase.
