Updated priorities for UX designers

Matej Latin requested to merge update-priorities-of-ux-designers into master

@sarrahvesselov and I had a brief chat about how can we make the UX department less transactional (topic that was also briefly discussed in the skip level meeting). I explained my idea about trying to aim to schedule 80% of a designer's capacity for 'regular' work and the remaining 20% for other pro-active work. In the end, we decided to open an MR in the handbook and take it from there.

This is something that we may not be able to do right now as there aren't enough UX designers but should strive for. This is meant as a guideline, not a rule. But we can expect more value from designers if they have time to think about solving the bigger problems and holistic solutions.

@gitlab-com/gitlab-ux @sarrahvesselov and I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
