When moving from Github to Phabricator, request that the original github
pull request be closed with the URL of the Phab. This cuts down on
clutter and helps us track things better.

Add a few tweaks to clarify the author and signed-off-by lines. Add
clarifying note about the style checker. Refine the AI statements
for clarity, but these will need to be revised once the AI policy
has been completed.

Tweak the language around several items, as well as making things less
overly verbose. In addition, tweak the language about names, idenity and
project requirements around it to match the policy and intentions more
closely. Much of this language was taken from a recent proposal in the
git mailing list and matches well how the project has accepted
contributions in the past. It's also been tweaked a bit since 'legal
name' seems like it should be well defined, but actually isn't
as well defined universally as on might think.

Tighten and clarify the submission requirements:
* No AI submissions
* No trivial submissions: pull requests have to solve a real problem
* We may timeout requests after a month
* FreeBSD committers (all repos) are responible for merging their
  commits to the appropriate repo. github can be used to seek approval
  for such commits (eg a ports committer wants to make a src change).
* Wordsmith a few things to make them clearer to people new to our
  jargon.
* Not all psuedonyms are created equal, and we may disallow a PR
  based on that.
