Removed references to the "new API". (#2529)

It just causes confusion. There was also an out of date link that ironically pointed to the old API.

## New API
A simpler, [easier-to-use API](https://nasa.github.io/openmct/docs/api/)
has been added to Open MCT. Changes in this
API include a move away from a declarative system of JSON configuration files
towards an imperative system based on function calls. Developers will be able
to extend and build on Open MCT by making direct function calls to a public
API. Open MCT is also being refactored to minimize the dependencies that using
Open MCT imposes on developers, such as the current requirement to use
AngularJS.
We want Open MCT to be as easy to use, install, run, and develop for as
possible, and your feedback will help us get there! Feedback can be provided via [GitHub issues](https://github.com/nasa/openmct/issues), or by emailing us at [arc-dl-openmct@mail.nasa.gov](mailto:arc-dl-openmct@mail.nasa.gov).
## Building and Running Open MCT Locally
Building and running Open MCT in your local dev environment is very easy. Be sure you have [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) and [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) installed, then follow the directions below. Need additional information? Check out the [Getting Started](https://nasa.github.io/openmct/getting-started/) page on our website.

[tutorials](https://github.com/nasa/openmct-tutorial) provided in
our documentation.
For a practical example of a telemetry adapter, see David Hudson's
[Kerbal Space Program plugin](https://github.com/hudsonfoo/kerbal-openmct),
which allows [Kerbal Space Program](https://kerbalspaceprogram.com) players
to build and use displays for their own missions in Open MCT.
Additional examples are available in the `examples` hierarchy of this
repository; however, be aware that these examples are
[not fully-documented](https://github.com/nasa/openmct/issues/846), so
the tutorials will likely serve as a better starting point.
### Building the Open MCT Documentation Locally
Open MCT's documentation is generated by an
[npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)-based build. It has additional dependencies that
may not be available on every platform and thus is not covered in the standard
npm install. Ensure your system has [libcairo](http://cairographics.org/)
installed and then run the following commands:
* `npm install`
* `npm install canvas nomnoml`
* `npm run docs`
Documentation will be generated in `target/docs`.
