doc: Stop advising the creation of Phabricator issues

We have noticed that Phabricator (the ticketing system on tf.org [1])
has far less visibility within the community than the mailing list [2].
For this reason, let's drop usage of Phabricator for anything else than
bug reports. For the rest, advise contributors to start a discussion on
the mailing list, where they are more likely to get feedback.
