Bot policy proposal

There have been only a few people who took notice that there was
a policy proposal up for discussion, so hopefully this will get a
few more people interested.
I've proposed a bot policy for approval. I think it's decent.
Here's why:
  * It is descriptive and informative
  * Uses a lightweight approval process leaving plenty of
    latitude for bureaucrats
  * Allows administrators the use of the flood flag (proposal
    borrowed from Meta, where it's been working very nicely, I
    think). The flood flag portion is important, I think for a
    few reasons:

  * When admins want to move 500 pages at once, it lets them not
    flood RC. Now that we have move-subpages, this will be
    important.
  * Extends temp bot privileges to admins - until now really only
    bureaucrats could to this (in fact, I think WK might be the
    only person who's ever done this?) for a few reasons:

  * Too much trouble to ask for it
  * 'Crat has to be there to give & remove
  * There will now actually be permission in policy to let us do
    that

  Clarifies a few things like "scripts are not bots"Right now,
the only objection I can discern is that the policy is too long
or unfocused or something. I don't see any way to make it shorter
or otherwise remove stuff without losing valuable clarity. I
suppose it is possible to split out the flood flag sections to a
new page, but it seems perfectly reasonable to me that all this
should be on one page. If we decide to split it, we would not
need a separate vote or discussion - a simple "{{support}} but
split out the flood flag bits ~~~~" is all we need, I think.
Thanks,
Mike
