minor edits to make clear what has no ai, and how to remove projects (#1464)

### Description of Changes

This should handle a common misconception that anything listed is slop-free and will remain so. While this is the case for things with the anti-ai policy merit badge, it's not the case for everything. This also displays the "guide for removal" more prominently, to reduce confusion.

Free/Open Source Software tainted by LLM/AI usage, along with *alternatives* and *last untainted commit* so you can fork.
Free/Open Source Software tainted by LLM/AI usage, along with an informed set of AI-free *alternatives* and *last untainted commit* (so you can fork if you'd like) should your ethical boundaries be crossed or your tolerance for risk be exceeded. Please note that alternatives do not have to have an Anti-AI policy, but if they do have an Anti-AI Policy, you'll see an [![Anti-AI Policy](./badges/anti-ai-policy.svg)](#anti-ai-policy) badge next to it. If an alternative is found to have LLM/AI usage, please submit a pull request to get the alternative removed and added as tainted with evidence.
Provided below is an informed set of AI-free alternatives for users and developers to consider should their ethical boundaries be crossed or tolerance for risk be exceeded. This list is **not** a resource to be used for the harassment of other open-source developers. If you wish to advocate for a "No AI" Policy from another project, we ask that it be done respectfully and constructively (and do *not* mention this list).

This is a special badge with a *positive* connotation. It certifies that a project listed as an alternative, has a *Clear* "No AI" policy. This means the project forbids the use of AI and LLMs and does not have any special carve outs where they've condoned their usage. These projects should always be preferred as all other alternative projects listed are considered to have a neutral stance on AI until they put out an official policy.
