Remove - open application page from HB

Jessica Dallmar requested to merge jdallmar-master-patch-2494 into master

Why is this change being made?

💡 Provide a detailed answer to the question on why this change is being proposed, in accordance with our value of Transparency.

We have had a few questions come through from people inquiring about open applications due to this HB page. It creates a sub-par experience and sets unrealistic expectations from the talent community in that we do not currently have opportunistic hiring efforts at GitLab and there is no avenue to 'apply' to this position. We do have talent communities in our CRM that we would rather direct people to in order to get involved when we do not have a open role for them to apply for. We'd like to remove this HB page to better align to the process we have to date and the experience we provide to candidates and prospects alike.

@drogozinski I am not entirely sure how to delete an entire handbook page - so might need your help on that in this MR. I've already ran by @rallen3 and he is comfortable with our decision to sunset this page.

Please add the details saying why, not just what in this section. Example: We have discussed the topic in Slack - (copy of Slack conversation). The current process is not efficient, this MR makes the description of X more clear, and helps move Y forward.
