There is already label confusion involving whether we should use beginner (89 issues) or good first issue (29 issues), so I went with beginner in the documentation. I think we should strongly discourage users from creating arbitrary labels on their own because the labels will become useless pretty quickly if there's no consistency as to which are used, so I adjusted the docs accordingly

I think what happened is that Bugzilla had a tag for `beginner` and it didn't get translated to `good first issue` when we migrated. See https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/51656 and https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52314 as an example (note the keyword use in Bugzilla).

I can switch to using `good first issue` in the docs, but it'd be nice if we could migrate the `beginner` tag to `good first issue` and then remove the `beginner` tag to reduce confusion.
