Remove avoiding duplicate work section.
This section encourages people to create empty WIP pull requests. But: * Most of these are never followed through on and become more of a problem for track maintainers than than the far less likely implementation collisions. * Tracks should be able to specify their own procedures for creating pull requests. So: Remove this section from the common documentation, if tracks think that it is important to have WIP commits they can add them to their local track documentation.

## Avoiding Duplicate Work
49-
50-
When you decide to implement an exercise, first check that there are no open pull requests
51-
for the same exercise.
52-
53-
Then open a "work in progress" (WIP) pull request, so others will see that you're working on it.

The way to open a WIP pull request even if you haven't done any work yet is:
56-
57-
* Fork and clone the repository.
58-
* Check out a branch for the exercise.
59-
* Add an empty commit `git commit --allow-empty -m "Implement exercise <slug>"`
60-
(replace <slug> with the actual name of the exercise).
61-
* Push the new branch to your repository, and open a pull request against that branch.
62-
63-
Once you have added the actual exercise, then you can rebase your branch onto the upstream
64-
master, which will make the WIP commit go away.

You'll need to find the `slug` for the exercise. That's the URL-friendly identifier
