feat(ContextualHelp): Clarify external link icon

Marcin Sedlak-Jakubowski requested to merge msj-external-links-guidance into main

What does this MR do?

Add explicit guidance to https://design.gitlab.com/usability/contextual-help#external-links not to add the external link icon when linking docs.

As it is now, a SaaS contributor might think that, because the docs link opens a page on another site (docs.gitlab.com), this qualifies as a link "outside of the GitLab instance".

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
