[documentation] "Handbook Style Guide": personal pronouns

High-handedly, perhaps, in the Style Guide (at
http://drupal.org/about/authoring) I've made this change:

WAS: "Avoid using personal pronouns: I, my, we, our, etc."

NOW: "Avoid using first-person pronouns: I, my, we, our, etc."

This of course opens things up for the optional use of "you." 

If I'd wanted to be ultra high-handed I'd have added, "Feel free to address
the reader as 'you.' " But perhaps that's something to be first agreed-on
here. 

Best wishes,
O Govinda
