docs: Remove bad advice about pinning versions.

`package.json` for management by yarn, this allows them to be upgraded easily

`PROVISION_VERSION` in `version.py` in the same commit. When adding modules
to `package.json`, please pin specific versions of them (don't using carets
`^`, tildes `~`, etc). We prefer fixed versions so that when the upstream
providers release new versions with incompatible APIs, it can't break Zulip.
We update those versions periodically to ensure we're running a recent
version of third-party libraries.
