Add some high level steps for a sunset roadmap
Why is this change being made?
From https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-security/appsec/tokinator/-/issues/76
📓 📓 No pressure, but if you had any lessons learned from this process and/or think there's anything helpful to capture in the handbook or a template, please do consider making an MR! I realize it might just be "do the thing!" and not really worthy of a step-by-step description or template, though.
This MR adds some guidance around sunset roadmaps and links to recent (at time of writing) examples. It's intentionally not prescriptive because a sunset roadmap really is kinda a "do the thing!" type effort. But documenting the top things that came to mind might help others in the future.
It also fixes a broken link
