docs: allow commit trailers that credit AI tooling

Browse Source 
The AI guidelines said that listing AI tooling in a commit with a
`co-authored-by`, `assisted-by`, or `generated-by` trailer was not necessary,
which read as discouragement and left contributors unsure whether such a trailer
was welcome at all. The maintainers have since agreed that these trailers are
fine, so say so.

What the guidelines require is unchanged: sign-off is the human contributor's,
and AI assistance is disclosed in the pull request description.

## Transparency requirements
1. Contributors should disclose in pull request descriptions how AI tools assisted in development. E.g., generating substantial functions, documentation, and/or unit tests.
2. Rook requires human sign-off. Signing commits using an AI tool, or listing AI tooling in commits using `co-authored-by`, `assisted-by`, `generated-by`, or using similar commit trailers is not necessary.
2. Rook requires human sign-off. Sign commits with your own identity rather than an AI tool's. Commit trailers that credit AI tooling, such as `co-authored-by`, `assisted-by`, or `generated-by`, are permitted but not required.
