doc: remove Locked from stability index
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The stability index 3 (Locked) is unused and is being eliminated. Remove
it from the documentation about the stability index.

Remove mention of the Locked from CONTRIBUTING.md. The remaining text
about the stability index is slight and not seemingly valuable. Removing
it too.

For developing new features and bug fixes, the `master` branch should be pulled
and built upon.

#### Respect the stability index

The rules for the master branch are less strict; consult the
[stability index](./doc/api/documentation.md#stability-index) for details.

In a nutshell, modules are at varying levels of API stability. Bug fixes are
always welcome but API or behavioral changes to modules at stability level 3
(Locked) are off-limits.

#### Dependencies

Node.js has several bundled dependencies in the *deps/* and the *tools/*
