Remove `examples-for-discussion` folder and move DMH repo instead

This folder was created during the CCDH Pilot to quickly have somewhere to have a discussion about codeable concepts and enums. It looks like DMH is moving some of these discussions into their own repository (https://github.com/cancerDHC/data-model-harmonization/tree/master/data-examples/f2f-2021-09-data-examples/mapping_provenance_proposals), so maybe this is no longer needed? On the other hand, I feel like this ought to be the right place to have these discussions.

One alternate idea that I like is to have a general examples/ folder that contains a variety of example CRDCH instance data (as covered by #59), which we can then test automatically. If we do something like that, we'll have to make sure that the testable example data is clearly separated from the "potential" example data that describes features we are considering adding later.

Let's discuss this with the Data Model Harmonization team sometime in October.

@bfurner @mbrush Would it be okay if we moved the examples-for-discussion folder into the https://github.com/cancerDHC/data-model-harmonization repository? If we had more design documents in the ccdhmodel repo, I think it would make sense to leave it here, but since we don't have any others, I think it would be cleaner to move this elsewhere. What do you both think?

We're citing this folder in our Q3 2021 quarterly report (as https://github.com/cancerDHC/ccdhmodel/tree/main/examples-for-discussion), so:

  1. Let's leave this where it is for now.
  2. If we do decide to move it to another repository, let's leave a README file in this folder so we can point people to the new location of these files, at least for a year or so.

@gaurav i am fine with moving this to https://github.com/cancerDHC/data-model-harmonization and following approach 2 above with the README. would you be able to handle this move?
