Remove deprecated docs sections of Secure jobsdocs/secure-rm-deprecated-jobs

-to automatically extract report data and show it in the merge request widget.
-While these old job definitions are still maintained they have been deprecated
-and may be removed in next major release, GitLab 12.0. You are strongly advised
-to update your current `.gitlab-ci.yml` configuration to reflect that change.
-
-For GitLab 11.4 and earlier, the job should look like:

-```yaml

- variables:
- website: "https://example.com"
