Replace PatientAccess COVID-19 advice with official NHS advice

Max Woolf requested to merge uk-covid-advice into master

Why is this change being made?

PatientAccess is a privately-owned application which links to non-NHS provided services which often incur a fee. It's also not available for all UK patients including many outside of England.

This MR updates GitLab's advice to UK residents in line with the UK government COVID-19 advice to use the NHS 111 service and the official NHS app. It also makes it more inclusive to those living outside England as coronavirus advice to the general public is set by devolved by administrations.
