What github issue is this PR for, if any?

#562

What does this code do, and why?

As suggested in issue #562, this PR:

  • Removes the feature that lets applicants preview their unsubmitted applications
  • Removes the explanatory text about using markdown to format an application
  • Clarifies application visibility -- applications are visible to all current DU members while they are open, then they are no longer visible once they have been accepted or rejected.

How is this code tested?

Locally -- only UI changes.

Are any database migrations required by this change?

No

Are there any configuration or environment changes needed?

No

Screenshots please :)

Submitted application:

Once an application is submitted, you can still use "View application" to see how the application will look to voting members. This behavior existed before and I did not remove it. We can remove it if it's confusing / not useful.

"View application" takes you to this page:

As suggested in github.com//issues/562.
* The preview feature is confusing since it only works if you save the
  application before previewing it. This PR removes the preview
  functionality.
* The explanatory text about markdown is confusing. This PR removes it.
* The intro text does not explain application visibility clearly. This
  PR updates it.
