Drop gitlab-mail_room gem update in documentation

Stan Hu requested to merge sh-drop-mailroom-update-instructions into main

What does this merge request do and why?

This extra step is no longer needed now that gitlab!116858 (merged) is merged.

We disabled updates to gitlab-mail_room in the gitlab/Gemfile because updating mail_room required an updated net-imap gem. This gem attempted to install the digest gem, but due to a bug present in Ruby 2.7 (https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17761), the installation failed and caused Cloud Native GitLab builds to fail (gitlab-com/gl-infra/production#4053 (closed)).

We've updated to Ruby 3.0.5 for Cloud Native GitLab images now and have already bumped the net-imap dependency in gitlab!115755 (merged). As a result, GitLab Rails can update the Gemfile again.
