Document that positive votes on design docs are sticky

For design docs it is often the case that people vote with Code-Review+1
to express their consent with the contents, but then these votes get
lost when minor issues such as nits, spelling mistakes, rephrasing,
adding some more points are addressed. Reviewers which already gave
their consent often don't come back after each iteration to re-apply
their Code-Review+1 vote, so that in the end it can look like there is
not much support for a design, while in fact many people agreed to it
(and just their Code-Review+1 votes are no longer visible). This makes
it more difficult to reason about approving a design by the ESC.

To improve this situation change I357351cd0 makes all positive
Code-Review votes in the homepage repo sticky. To prevent that
significant changes that are made by new patch sets stay unnoticed it is
the responsibility of the uploader to manually remove all positive votes
in this case. This change documents this.
