Refine the guidelines for rmgrdesc authors.
Clarify the goals of the recently added guidelines for rmgrdesc authors: to avoid gratuitous inconsistencies across resource managers, and to make it reasonably easy to write a reusable custom parser. Beyond that, the guidelines leave rmgrdesc authors with a significant amount of leeway. This even includes the leeway to invent custom conventions (in cases where it's warranted). Follow-up to commit 7d8219a4.

- * Guidelines for formatting desc functions:
- *
- * member1_name: member1_value, member2_name: member2_value
- *
- * If the value is a list, please use:
- *
- * member3_name: [ member3_list_value1, member3_list_value2 ]
- *
- * The first item appended to the string should not be prepended by any spaces
- * or comma, however all subsequent appends to the string are responsible for
- * prepending themselves with a comma followed by a space.
- *
- * Flags should be in ALL CAPS.
- *
- * For lists/arrays of items, the number of those items should be listed at
- * the beginning with all of the other numbers.
- *
- * Composite objects in a list should be surrounded with { }.
