[DOC] Update documentation about tokens

[jakirkham]

Previously feedstocks stored encrypted tokens, which were used to upload packages. However we have since moved away from that. Though the documentation still refers to tokens in conda-forge.yml. Also it doesn't cover how users should update tokens. It would be good to remove these outdated sections and include some text on how to update feedstock tokens.

@jakirkham @beckermr @kathatherine I think I can and would like to fix this issue, can you help me provide the necessary details so that I can get started with this?

Mostly this is about deleting text that is outdated

Though it might be nice to write up a paragraph on how tokens are handled now. This SO answer is pretty good. Matt is the expert with token handling so he probably has thoughts on that 😉

That SO answer is really great. Let's avoid saying why we are trustworthy (ie declaring that anaconda trusts us) and instead update our docs with how we handle tokens etc. the description of that process is correct on this answer. Please do not copy any text from that SO answer. We do not have rights to it.

Hi @prachi237, are you still working on this issue? I would be happy to take it if you are busy and couldn't complete it for any reasons. :)

@prachi237, just wanted to ask if you are still working on it?
Actually, I have been working on the issues related to Maintainer documentation, and completing this one would be towards that. Also, this issue it about removing outdated information so, it would be good to do this soon. Let me know when you can open a PR for this.
