[ghc-steering-committee] Section numbering

[Joachim Breitner]

Hi,

I did this, and updated all accepted proposals. The trick to not number
the title is to move the document title to the very top,
before all the “.. foo::” cruft, it is excluded from numbering. See
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/00
05-bidir-constr-sigs.rst
for an example.

Cheers,
Joachim
