Clarify communicating a feature flag rollout

Luke Duncalfe requested to merge ld-feature-flag-rollout-communication into master

What does this MR do?

This MR clarifies how and when to communicate a feature flag rollout with other parts of the company.

The motivation for this MR was a checkbox in a Feature Flag Rollout issue #207351 (closed):

Coordinate a time to enable the flag with #production and #g_delivery on slack.

There was no guidance in our feature flag rollout process around when this was necessary.
