9569a5bbae Travel: Add $150 to the limit on int'l airfare without preapproval.
The limit has been $1,500 since the first commit of the policy in 2012.
Inflation and other economic forces have brought us to the point that
international travelers routinely show us searches where the cheapest fare
is around or over $1,400.  Increase the limit to try to level the number of
flights requiring preapproval.

ad6eb47205 Travel: The 90-day limit for expense reports is from the last day of travel.
This was always our intention.  However, the previous wording didn't account
for gaps in the time that advance purchases (especially flights and other
long haul travel) are made and the time the travel actually occurs.  This
updates the wording to match our intention.

62517bc090 Travel: Move Additional Travel section up.
This puts it closer to the policies about booking transportation, where
readers are most likely to want it.

4631c56b68 Travel: Remove note that requests are handled once per week.
This is still sort of our default handling, but things can move in both
directions depending on what else is going on.  Just strike it.

3422d93682 Travel: Update information about rates we use.
* Introduce a "Rates" section that's referred to throughout.
* Explain how the total M&IE allowance is calculated.
* Update the info about currency conversions to explain we now use Open
  Exchange Rates based on the date of the reimbursement request.
