Time has showed yet again that people are often confused by this feature 🙂

Code related to contact shadows was removed in the master branch, as shadow normal offset bias and shadow pancaking are better (and faster) replacements. However, I still think this has value for the 3.x branch.

See also #43207.

As discussed in PR review meeting, we prefer not to hide the feature this way, but only document the known issues in its description.

I remade this PR to only change the documentation.
