Overhaul instructions in README.rst for clarity

The README.rst file included some rough instructions which may not
be entirely clear to newcomers to the community. Add some details so
that they don't need to guess where some things are.

Switch the recommendation for Story commit footers to Task so that
the corresponding story task will get its status updated by our
automation accordingly (we hyperlink these since the SB webclient
has grown support for routing them to the correct story, so
including a Story footer as well is now unnecessary).

Drop the step of providing the review link in a story comment since
our automation will do this if a Task footer is included in the
commit message.

#<taskid>`` for the corresponding story's initial task is
included as a footer in the commit message (see
``CONTRIBUTING.rst`` for relevant documentation links). This
change should also add an entry for the proposed spec document
in the ``Approved Design Specifications`` section of the
``doc/source/index.rst`` file.
3. Once proposed, members of the community provide feedback through
code review, and the specification should be revised until there
seems to be some reasonable consensus as to its fitness.
4. When ready for final approval, request addition of a call for
votes to the weekly `infra meeting`_ agenda.
5. If agreed by the meeting attendees, the chair will announce an
approval deadline before which members of the `Infrastructure
Council`_ are asked to cast their roll call votes on the proposal
under review.
