docs(rules): take the highest ranked Goal your lead gives you

[zolotokrylin]

DEV-110 told contributors to pick a Goal by their own read of impact and urgency, and to ask their lead if unsure. For anyone working across several repos that is a guess, and it ignores that a lead may already have decided the order.

The rule now takes the ranked order as the answer where one is given, and keeps the impact-and-urgency fallback for contributors who have none. It says nothing about where that order is kept, which is deliberate: that is the lead's business, not the contribution model's.
