Remove deprecated community advocacy handbook & update community relations workflows
Why is this change being made?
The community advocacy program was discontinued in 2020. The deprecated handbook causes confusion on currently supported workflows. This MR removes the /community-advocacy/
directory and updates all surrounding workflows.
If we need to restore or move a workflow, we can checkout an older Git commit and copy the content, if applicable.
