I think that's the right thing to do here, and on the homepage at that discourse is also for chatting. (Sorry didn't make a concrete suggestion yesterday cause I think I wasn't sure what we should do).

matplotlib/cheatsheets#186 (comment) flagged that the homepage still lists gitter for chat. This PR removes gitter and mentions that discourse is forum+chat.
