Discord move & design review updates (#518)
Replaced all Slack references and links with Discord ones. Except for links to specific conversations, and the domains doc, which seems a bit like a contract which I'll treat separately. Also renamed the design crits back to design reviews, since I have taken that process over again a few months ago and find that title simpler.

We will only focus on a specific part of your product, so we can give the highest amount of value. Reviewing a whole product is an extensive and involved process that is better suited to be dealt with by a dedicated Product Designer. If you need a Product Designer for your bitcoin product, reach out in the [#opportunities](https://bitcoindesign.slack.com/archives/C016D659EU9) channel in our Slack.
