docs: ensure box is not selected to discourage granting accidental external access

Neil McDonald requested to merge nmcd-master-patch-9788 into master

What does this MR do and why?

The project docs currently suggest:

You can prevent users from requesting access to a project.

Prerequisites:

* You must have the Owner role for the project.

1. On the left sidebar, select **Search or go to** and find your project.
2. Select **Settings \> General**.
3. Expand **Visibility, project features, permissions**.
4. Under **Project visibility**, select **Users can request access**.
5. Select **Save changes**.

However, step 4 should be un-selected, to discourage granting accidental external access - as per our creating a project doc

This MR adds the following to step 4:

Under **Project visibility**, ensure that the **Users can request access** box is _not_ selected.

Note: This box only is displayed for public projects. I don't know if that needs to be noted in the prerequisites.
