Remove unused contribution files for Docs - Charts (!5252) · Merge requests · GitLab.org / charts / GitLab Chart

What does this MR do?

The docs site intentionally doesn't translate the Contribute (/development/) docs. Originally, we decided to copy all the development content with only front-matter intact for Japanese under this issue: MVC to hide "Contribute" pages and navigation in Japanese localized docs site. However, the with time, a lot of these development pages are constantly moved, deleted or more pages are created, so this initial MVC doesn't work anymore.

With the Merge Request in place: Derive localized /development pages from English sources, we've now successfully removed the dependency on having any of the /development or contribution files in the /doc-locale directory. Removing the complete directory from the /ja-jp side. There's currently no other /development files in /fr-fr or /ko-kr , so we can safely ignore these two directories.

Here's the list of all of the relevant MRs:
