Removed duplicated build package information

Katie Macoy requested to merge 376359-remove-duplicated-information into master

What does this MR do and why?

We are the in the process of simplifying the Package Registry documentation.

  • ✅ Step 1: !103289 (merged) Adds a new page with how to build packages, per format
  • ✅ Step 2: gitlab-docs!3266 (merged) Adds the new build page to the navigation
  • 🎱 Step 3: This MR. Removes build information from each package format page and links from the package format page to the new build page

The purpose of this MR is to reduce the overall amount of content on each package format and have each package format page contain only the most essential information. (More information in #376359)

Our goal is to standardize the format of each package format page, and moving some of the content from each individual format to one central page is a step in that direction.

How to set up and validate locally

  1. Enable gitlab docs in the gdk https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/-/blob/main/doc/howto/gitlab_docs.md
  2. Visit package format page (e.g. npm)
  3. Notice that the first section links out to the new page (Learn how to build an npm package..)
