docs(policy): Clarify that Expatriation applies to all categories
The current wording makes it sound like Expatriation only applies to Intentional Artifacts but the Council recently clarified that it also applies to Experiments. From [zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/392734-council/topic/Crate.20Ownership.20Policy.20Clarification/near/513732109) > Just to follow up here, the council discussed this today. Our > interpretation was that expatriation requires an rfc and council > approval regardless of its experimental or intentional status (and per > the policy, is generally discouraged). It may be possible to achieve > something similar by just forking the project and picking a new name, > but it sounds like you don't want to go down that route. Working on it > externally sounds like another alternative.
