Remove alpha warning for R genomics lesson

[sstevens2]

I put in PR #131 about this in the past and there was some discussion. It was closed I think to help with the lesson migration to the workbench so I'm opening this issue for further discussion.

Alpha in the lesson lifecycle documentation is typically before it is announced to the community and when it hasn't yet been taught by people outside of the original lesson developers. This lesson is taught quite often by individuals who didn't develop the lesson (myself included). I agree it isn't stable yet but recommend considering making it beta instead of alpha to be consistent with Carpentries lesson lifecycle definitions.

Thanks for starting the discussion! Since I'm a new maintainer for this repository I'm not very familiar yet with how often this workshop has been taught, though commits to the content seem to date back to 2017. I encourage others with more experience to comment their thoughts!

I closed #131 because the warning seems to only refer to the R lessons, not the workshop as a whole:

Please note that workshop materials for working with Genomics data in R are in “alpha” development.

The Genomics R lesson has an alpha banner, so this seems right to keep unless the maintainers of that lesson feel it is time to remove it.

I support marking the entire workshop as beta if that is truly the status of the material. However, none of the (sub?)lessons are marked with beta banners.

I think I filed this here because of the warning about the genomics R lesson on the front page. Good point about this being a good discussion for the R genomics maintainers. Sorry I didn't quite understand that from the closing message when I read it. I'll file an issue over there and reference this one, since this will need to be updated when that one changes.

Since this question has been moved over to a more appropriate venue, I'll close this issue now. @sstevens2 @twrightsman please feel free to re-open if you think I've made a mistake.

I might recommend leaving this open so we don't forget to update the text on the index page here when the R genomics issue gets updated.

I think that's a good idea @sstevens2, thanks!
