improve PR #246 - part 1

Fixed links between rules and guidelines.

Add guideline about "Rule 2 - Size restrictions" not changing soon.

Expand "Guidelines for Rule 13 - No carriage returns in prog.c".

Put the word, "restrictions" into "Rule 2 - Size restrictions".
While this is a **GOOD IDEA**, the concept needs to be rolled out
over all of the rules, not just "Rule 2 - Size restrictions".

Changed IOCCC Rules to version **29.13 2025-12-01**.
Changed IOCCC Guidelines to version **29.06 2025-12-01**.

Ran `make quick_www` to perform the above.

#### Size rule slow to change

As you can read above, the Size rule is slow to change.
Given how long the [IOCCC 2013-2020](#size_rule2013-2020) size rule lasted,
one might expect the [IOCCC 2024-date](#size_rule2024-xxxx) size rule to last
well into the 2030's.
