Redact data-usage page in prep for deletion

Amy Qualls requested to merge aqualls-redact-data-usage-page into master

What does this MR do?

!163208 isn't ready yet, but as part of that work, doc/user/project/merge_requests/reviews/data_usage.md was to be redacted + converted into a redirect, because the feature is gone with no replacement.

As part of prepping for !163208, I took the page out of the left nav a few weeks ago. !163208 hadn't merged yet, so the left-nav removal looked like a mistake, because the page still existed. It was re-added to the nav.

Let's redact this page + turn into a redirect, separately from !163208. This will ensure that when I take the page out of the left nav again shortly, it's obviously intentional.

EDIT: Changed plan to add metadata to the page to prevent it from being re-added to the nav. The page will be removed as part of the related MR at a later date.

Author's checklist

If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Reviewer's checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

If you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • Ensure a release milestone is set.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
