Explain why JIRA DVCS requires API write-access

The DVCS connector uses the application token over GitLab API calls to
perform some of its required webhook configuration.

For this to succeed, the wider api scope needs to be selected instead
of the limited read_api scope.

The integration cannot function successfully if the read-only scope
is provided instead.
