Subject: [PATCH] .gitlab: Detailed report instructions were moved to gimp-web

See: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/gimp-web/-/commit/d2c4038abdf3f118596b0d434edd804a9f9a28bd

Our practice of writing everything on the template made the page on gimp-web
fall into oblivion. This was suboptiomal since the template got very big and
hard to read, with many reporters not filling it at all.

So, let's try to improve cleaning the template and directing them to gimp-web,
which have images and such that should clarify how to make good reports.
