docs: fix version-bump commit counting

[i-machine-things]

Why

The version-bump rule counts commits with git log <last-tag>..<branch> --oneline and then counts lines starting with feat: or fix:. --oneline puts the short hash first on each line, so no line ever starts with feat: or fix:, and the "5 or more" thresholds can never trigger. CodeRabbit caught this on i-machine-things/wl-tools#13.

What

• Switches the counting command to --format='%s', which prints subjects only.
• Where this repo has no Rule 6, drops the pointer to it and describes the human sign-off before tagging directly.

Tested: in a scratch repo with feat:, fix: and chore: commits, --format=%s | grep -c ^feat: gives 1 and --oneline | grep -c ^feat: gives 0.
