Add STYLE_GUIDE.md covering writing and grammar: active voice, no em-dash, prose over listicles, terminology, and no marketing language. Extract the overlapping writing-style prose out of authoring-guide.md and point it at the new guide, keeping one canonical source. Closes #116
Copy the writing-style prose from authoring-guide verbatim instead of expanding it, and add a Naming section for the product names (AWS Lambda durable functions, durable functions, Durable Execution SDK, durable execution).
