Update incompatible change process on when to close github issue

Previously, we stated that the incompatible flag issue should be closed when the flag is removed from HEAD (instead of flipped). But this doesn't work well because it makes tracking the flag flip harder, which is problematic for two use cases
1) Using the issue as a release blocker. Before cutting a release, we only care if the flag is flipped, not if it's removed.
2) The incompatible flag pipeline should stop test the flag after it's flipped. Keeping the issue open will confuse the pipeline.

Therefore, we update the policy to close the incompatible issue when the flag is flipped, then file another issue to track the removal of the flag.
