Update team member workflow section

Scott Hampton requested to merge shampton-master-patch-57148 into master

Why is this change being made?

Based on the async discussion we had on how to better plan our milestones, this handbook change updates how team members should interpret which issues to prioritize.

In summary, we will be switching to this issue board which does not have a milestone filter. Instead, issues belonging to the milestone will have a Deliverable label and will be stack-ranked at the top of the workflowready for development column. Team members looking for work can simply take the next issue off of the top of that column, and Deliverable issues will be prioritized first based on this method.
