improve rules and guidelines

We improved the rules language around `make clobber` to not insist,
but instead request actions to restore the state of the submission.

Updated `inc/rules.closed.hdr` and `inc/guidelines.closed.hdr` to clarify
the tentative nature of the rules and guidelines without implying
that they might be massively changed before the IOCCC re-opened.
The `next/rules.md` and `next/guidelines.md` have been updated to
include the `inc/rules.closed.hdr` and `inc/guidelines.closed.hdr`
content respectively.

The top level warning that the rules and guidelines are out of date
have been removed.

Performed `make rules guidelines` to update the HTML pages.
