Product Development Flow: Add `workflow::refinement` as optional step to build phase 1

Thomas Woodham requested to merge 1214-pd-flow-workflow-refinement into master

Why is this change being made?

It was noted as part of feedback about the revised product development flow that some teams break out backlog refinement from planning breakdown. This addition allows them to focus their implementation plan and estimation activities on the portion of an issue which is slated to be delivered first. This MR documents this as an optional step as part of Planning phase of the Build track.
