docs: phabricator external service's configuration example isn't helpful

Created by: ggilmore

  1. Run the https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/releases/tag/v3.4.0-rc.4 Docker image via https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/blob/master/dev/run-server-image.sh: IMAGE=sourcegraph/server:3.4.0-rc.4 ./dev/run-server-image.sh
  2. Create an admin account
  3. Click the button to a new Phabricator external service

The configuration editor's default contents are only filled in with empty values (and no comments), which doesn't help you figure out how to set the configuration properly:

The example in https://docs.sourcegraph.com/admin/external_service/phabricator#configuration also only contains empty values.

Compare this to Github external service configuration editor:

This editor has tons of examples in the comments that tell you what the expected values should be for each key.
