Remove details about empty branch pipelines

What does this MR do?

After further testing, there were some edge cases found that made it such that this rule can't be used for the purpose we hoped. We wanted to use it to prevent pipelines from running when a branch is empty, but it turns out it also blocks pipelines when a new branch is pushed at the same time as the first commit (a common thing to do when you work locally). This makes the rule unusable for most people, so we should not promote this as a solution anymore.

We likely need to develop a feature, or at least a new variable, that we can use to accomplish this task.

Author's checklist (required)

Do not add the feature, frontend, backend, ~"bug", or database labels if you are only updating documentation. These labels will cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

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

  • 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.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
