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.

(Locked) are off-limits.

#### Dependencies

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