docs: Update discussion of outreach programs. 

"Outreach programs" I think is better phrasing than "Internship
programs", since GSoC is the main one we do these days and isn't an
internship program.

This may fail CI since it contains links to anchors on ReadTheDocs
that may race; it should fail ones the ReadTheDocs build completes.

### Google Summer of Code
GSoC is by far the largest of our internship programs (14 students in
2017; 11 in 2018; 17 in 2019). While we don't control how many slots
Google allocates to Zulip, we hope to mentor a similar number of
students in future summers.
