set tentative IOCCC28 dates, update rules and guidelines

Browse Source 
We set dates and times for when IOCCC28 will go into pending state,
open state, and judging state.  These dates are subject to change until
the content enters the open state.

Modified both `next/guidelines.md` and `next/rules.md` as per the
IOCCC28 dates and times.

Improve the `next/guidelines.md` and `next/rules.md` text around IOCCC28 dates and times.

We processed the XXX's in markdown files that needed processing.

Fixed a minor typo in `bin/cvt-submission.sh`.

Made some minor formatting improvements to `faq.md`, `next/register.md`,
`next/rules.md`, `next/guidelines.md`, `README.md` and `index.md`.

Updated "Rule 3" in `next/rules.md` in regards to the above.

Updated "Rule 8" in `next/rules.md` in regards to the above.

Changed `faq.md`  version from **28.1.8 2024-12-07**
to **28.2.0 2024-12-28**.

Changed `next/guidelines.md` version from **28.29 2024-12-27**
to **28.30 2024-12-28**.

Changed `next/rules.md` version from **28.14 2024-12-07**
to **28.15 2024-12-28**.

TODO: Review these changes.
