Documentation/maintainer-tip: Clarify merge window policy

There are lots of maintainers "pings" during the merge window, even
for trivial patches.

Clarify that contributors should not expect progress on *any*
non-urgent patches during the merge window.  This applies to all
contributions, not just large ones.

Clarify the language around -rc1.  Trees really are closed during the
merge window.
