Clarify, whether the policies should be posted word-by-word #23

Description

@Boldewyn

This is a request for documentation. https://www.eff.org/dnt-policy says to include the policy verbatim under .well-known/dnt-policy.txt. Also, this repo contains a JSON file with hashes for the respective versions.

However, the text of the policy contains the sentence

This file will always be posted via HTTPS at https://example-domain.com/.well-known/dnt-policy.txt
to indicate this fact.

On reading the policy, it seems, that this sentence should be updated to contain the actual domain that issues the policy. In fact, that's how I did it on codepoints.net: https://codepoints.net/.well-known/dnt-policy.txt

Of course, any hashes will be different then. But apart from the above mentioned "verbatim" I found no note, if the file is indeed meant to be included just as downloaded from Github, or is a template (as https://example-domain.com/ suggests), that needs editing.

The intended way of embedding should be published at the FAQ at https://www.eff.org/dnt-policy, too.
