Remove remaining references to "approve" from External Status Checks API documentation

What does this MR do?

To avoid confusion with Merge Request approvals, and to maintain a distinction between the value of human and bot judgments, we do not use the term "approve" or "approval" in relation to External Status Checks. This updates the API documentation page to remove the term from a few locations, because it was briefly in use.

Relevant threads about not using "approve|approval":

Note: The preferred term for External Status Check "approval" is "pass" (and the opposite term is "fail", to be introduced under #329636 (closed)). Both of these terms appear in existing documentation.

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
