[ghc-steering-committee] Template too large, removed direct link

Hi,

we used to have a direct link in our README to start a new template
pre-filled with the template, but that only worked as long as our
template text was short enough to fit into an URL, and would just give
an error message now. 

I have removed that from the README for now. It requires proposal
authors to understand enough git to know how to create a new file and
copy some other file into it. Maybe not too high a hurdle.

We can add the link back if we have shrunk our template to a sensible
size again… these things grow like nothing else, besides maybe
bureaucracy. If someone makes a heroic effort to make the template more
concise without losing anything important (I think the endorsement
section can go as it is unused, but that alone is not enough), that
would be great!

Cheers,
Joachim
