Clearer instructions for how to handle the voting.
...
This was primarily based on feedback from Richard Fontana, who said the
previous instructions were unclear.
I also figured it's better to refer to third party documents on what STV is,
rather than the vague description that was here previously.

preference field belongs in election_votes table.

It's clear from the PHP code that there should be an integer field called
'preference' in the election_votes table. I suspect that at some point there
was an ALTER TABLE done that wasn't reflected in the schema.sql file.

Don't refer back to a list; just tell the user they must have election_id.
...
This is probably not the right long-term solution. Ideally, I think it'd be
useful if elections could be marked private or public, and elections that are
public would be listed automatically, and private ones wouldn't appear.
It seems there are some remnants in the code that make it look like someone
was going to make a step 0, which would list the elections from the database,
but that was never done.
So, I've hard-coded what I wanted here, in hopes someone else comes along and
does it up right.

Make variables for name of committee running election and its email address.

GNOME's Election committee was previously hard-code here, but the code is
more reusable if it is no longer hard-coded. The variables still default to
GNOME's details, but can be overridden with the configuration file.
