Update OSS landing page with OSS Partners section

Nuritzi Sanchez requested to merge nuritzi-master-patch-74944 into master

Why is this change being made?

We currently have a Popular Projects section on the GitLab for Open Source landing page that is confusing since it is really outdated: https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/projects.

This page began as a way to track members of the GitLab for Open Source program back in 2018 when the program started.

Reasons why the OSS projects page is outdated:

  • Not all projects renew. This means that some projects on that list are no longer members of the OSS program/active GitLab users
  • No new projects have been added to the list since 2020. We used to require people to submit a Merge Request to add themselves to this list of projects as part of the GitLab for Open Source application process. We removed this step in 2020 to make the application process easier.

This MR does the following:

  • Removes the link to the "more projects" page from the landing page
  • Renames the section from "Popular Projects" to "Open Source Partners"
  • Changes the button in that section to lead to the Open Source Partners landing page instead of the "More Projects" page.
