feat: Add 'Alternatives Considered' section to RFDs
Per issue #431, this adds a new section to the RFD template for RFD authors to describe any alternative paths considered and provide reasons why those paths are not being pursued. This is intended to help reviewers for RFDs, and to provide useful context for anyone looking back at RFDs in the future. Signed-off-by: Andrew Lilley Brinker
