docs: Formalize our design docs process a bit. #3940

Closed PhilipMetzger closed 3 months ago

PhilipMetzger commented 3 months ago

This adds the basic outline of when a Design Doc should be written. See the next commit in the stack for the blueprint.

By adding this we hopefully can prevent unnecessary churn from new and longtime contributors, when they want to add a major feature or rewrite a core part of Jujutsu. The text is written as a guideline, not a rule.
