Add consultant offboarding process to handbook (#41453)

## Summary

- Adds a new "Offboard a consultant" process to the People department
handbook page (`handbook/people/README.md`) with steps for notification,
KPI retirement, and access removal.
- Adds guidance on the Leadership page
(`handbook/company/leadership.md`) in the Consultants section, prompting
project DRIs to notify the Head of People when offboarding a consultant.

## Changes

### `handbook/people/README.md`
- New `### Offboard a consultant` section under Responsibilities, placed
after "Change the DRI of a consultant" and before "Add an advisor".
- Three-step process: DRI notification → retire KPI column (links to
existing [Retire a
KPI](https://fleetdm.com/handbook/people#retire-a-kpi) section) →
offboarding issue.

### `handbook/company/leadership.md`
- New blockquote in the Consultants section directing project DRIs to
notify the Head of People when ending a consultant engagement, with a
link to the new offboarding process.

### Offboard a consultant
When a consultant's engagement with Fleet is ending, the following steps are taken to offboard them:
1. The Head of People gets notified by the [consultant's DRI](https://fleetdm.com/handbook/company/leadership#consultants) that a consultant's engagement is ending.
2. [Retire the consultant's column](https://fleetdm.com/handbook/people#retire-a-kpi) in the [KPIs](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Hso0LxqwrRVINCyW_n436bNHmoqhoLhC8bcbvLPOs9A/edit#gid=0).
3. Open an [offboarding issue](https://github.com/fleetdm/classified/blob/main/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/offboarding.md) on the People board and work with IT to ensure the consultant's access to all Fleet systems is removed.
### Add an advisor
