Simplified Jira integration instructions

Russell Dickenson requested to merge docs/gitlab_jira_integration into master

What does this MR do?

Improves on the existing instructions for configuring Jira Server, and Jira Cloud, in preparation for integration with GitLab.

Issue https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/53510 stated that the screenshots were out of date, also that options previously available were no longer available. To address this issue, I removed them, and have referenced UI elements only within the procedures. This is an MVC, and select screenshots may later be added if they become available.

There are many more issues with the GitLab <-> Jira integration instructions that need to be resolved. They are being discussed in issue https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/57902. The aim of this MR is only to resolve the issue for which https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/53510 was raised.

Review checklist

All reviewers can help ensure accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide.

1. Primary Reviewer

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Optional: Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.

3. Maintainer

  1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  2. Ensure a release milestone is set and that you merge the equivalent EE MR before the CE MR if both exist.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
