R9:03d204adfdf1: articles/problem-reports: cease recommending the 'patch' keyword

Summary

Article 'Writing FreeBSD Problem Reports' pleads for use of a keyword:

patch

Keywords 'patch' and 'patch-ready' remain in Bugzilla, but should not be used. They are deprecated.

Update the article: end the plea, and explain why the available keywords should not be used.

PR: 267176, https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=267176.
