Bring back the Slack notifications docs

What does this MR do?

I noticed this was removed in !154008 (merged). The decision was partially correct due to the removal dates added in 6922651b. At that time, the Slack notifications would be removed in 17.0, but in 73187d9f it's decided to further expand the removal to 18.0.

Unfortunately, the removal date wasn't updated as well, so when the clearing process began, the page was moved.

This MR brings the page back and updates the removal date to that of GitLab 18.0.

PS. I only realized this when I saw the Slack notification in #docs-changes about the nav item, and because I worked on gitlab-docs#1787 (closed), so I knew it was being removed in 18.0 😄 Pretty lucky.

Author's checklist

If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Reviewer's checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

If you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • Ensure a release milestone is set.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
