Explain why Support doesn't take action on customer needs in Slack; remove Support Slack channels list

John Gaughan requested to merge jgaughan-master-patch-83297 into master

Why is this change being made?

Per the discussion in gitlab-com/support/support-team-meta#4768 (closed), this MR adds a list of reasons why Support does not act on customer-specific requests in Slack. It also removes the list of Support Slack channels at the bottom of the page, since there is no clear reason why teams outside of Support would need a general list of those channels.

Adding a list of explanations for the policy may help reduce the frequency of team members outside of Support making customer-specific requests in Slack.
