Removing examples/contact_model (#12719)

The examples in contact_model/ were examples of the old RBT contact model. They don't exercise MBP and its contact models. They *could* be brought back and updated to MBP if, down the road, we feel they have value. Note: the default docker behavior was already configured to run the acrobot, only the documentation mistakenly referred to the bowling simulation. Now they match.
