Ben Nemec 7760f4a2ec Add expedited approvals policy
In general, TripleO follows the standard “2 +2” review standard,
but there are situations where we want to make an exception. This
policy is intended to document those exceptions.

It has recently come to my attention that not all reviewers are
on the same page regarding some of our review policies, so this
is my attempt to document it in a reviewable location.  Some of
this information is already on the wiki, but that is not easy for
the team to review before changes are made and is probably going
away in the future.

Since this is not a release-specific document, I've added a new
section to our specs index for cross-release policies like this.
It is based on the oslo-specs policy section.  I would anticipate
this being useful for other policy type information in the future,
especially as the wiki is being phased out.

The title of the policy

Introduction paragraph -- why are we doing anything?

Problem Description

A detailed description of the problem.

Policy

Here is where you cover the change you propose to make in detail. How do you propose to solve this problem?

If the policy seeks to modify a process or workflow followed by the team, explain how and why.

If this is one part of a larger effort make it clear where this piece ends. In other words, what's the scope of this policy?

Alternatives & History

What other ways could we do this thing? Why aren't we using those? This doesn't have to be a full literature review, but it should demonstrate that thought has been put into why the proposed solution is an appropriate one.

If the policy changes over time, summarize the changes here. The exact details are always available by looking at the git history, but summarizing them will make it easier for anyone to follow the desired policy and understand when and why it might have changed.
