Remove mention of protected() because it's not very useful

Comment from Ezra:

Lesson “Cleaning up” – protected files. I’ve never used this functionality before and found it difficult to explain why it would be useful, as it stops the execution of the workflow. Maybe a better option would be to use an ancient() function, which means snakemake does not check the timestamp of the file.
