Handbook: Rename emergency drafting to expedited drafting (#12433)

It seems like we’ve been incorporating “emergency drafting” more
frequently into sprint cycles. This totally makes sense given that we
want to be an agile, design-driven company. It might be an easy cultural
win to instead call it something like “expedited drafting” to soften the
dissonance that comes from the sense of being in a constant state of
emergency.

You'll know it's time for expedited drafting when:
- The team discovers that a drafted user story is missing crucial information that prevents contributors from continuing the development task.
- A user story is taking more effort than was originally estimated, and Product Manager wants to find ways to cut aspects of planned functionality in order to still ship the improvement in the currently scheduled release.
What happens during emergency drafting?
What happens during expedited drafting?
1. Everyone on the product and engineering teams know that a drafted change was brought back
to drafting and prioritized.
2. Drafts are updated to cover edge cases or reduce functionality.
