docs: move signing workflow to internal HR process

[zolotokrylin]

What

Removes the "Workflow for Signing a Contractor Agreement" section (Steps 1–3) from the README, and replaces the detailed manual "Notify contractors" instructions in Step 6 with a single generic line.

Why

The signing workflow is an internal HR process and does not belong in a public repository. That detail is now maintained in holdex/hr-internal. The contractor-terms README should describe what the repo contains, not how HR operates internally.

The previous Step 6 described a manual email process that is now handled by an automated workflow in holdex/hr-internal.

Walkthrough

README.md updates the standard terms update workflow by repositioning the section header and simplifying contractor notification instructions from explicit email requirements (content, subject format, 14-day effective date) to a single directive: notify active contractors per internal process.

Changes

Standard Terms Workflow Documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Contractor notification workflow documentation README.md	Section header is repositioned after the signing workflow section ends. Contractor notification step is simplified from detailed email requirements (summary, release link, effective date minimum) to a brief "notify active contractors per your internal process" instruction.
