doc: remove Locked from stability index
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.
