Streamline README for policy overrides

The appendix in the deploy-guide has recently been
refreshed. This is the fifth of the nine charms that
support overrides to receive a streamlining in order
to cut down on duplication.

Some driveby formatting improvements.

Added a Bugs section.

multiple service charms to achieve a consistent set of policies across the
