README: Update pronoun specification
This patch simplifies the guidelines for pronouns that should
be used for me. Notably, the use of she/her and the germany
equivalent changed from MAY to SHOULD with the clause for
knowing me dropped entirely.

The order of pronouns has also changed to but she/her first.

As a third party communicating my preferred pronouns to others in written form, you SHOULD use "she/they". If the target audience is german you MAY
use "es/ihr". You must not use masculine pronouns in your document. You MIGHT also link back to this document for up to date guidance using the
