Initiatives: Convert "Objectives" to "Community Initiatives"

Browse source 
This commit follows in-person discussion by the Fedora Council in our
2023 Council hackfest in Frankfurt, Germany. We agreed to convert
"Objectives" into "Community Initiatives", which we agreed was easier to
understand and communicate the roles of these efforts in the project.

There is no functional change to Objectives. It is just a cosmetic
change, and we will follow this change with more communications about
the transition to bring more excitement into Initiatives.

== Proposing a Community Initiative
Any community member can propose a Community Initiative to the Council.
First, discuss on the https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/tag/council[#council tag on Fedora Discussion].
Next, if well-received, file a https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/[ticket].
Of course, people need to be ready to do the actual work required — a Community Initiative with no passionate bottom-liners won't get far.

Historically, Community Initiatives were known as Objectives.
This transition was made in February 2023 following in-person discussion by the Fedora Council in our 2023 Council hackfest in Frankfurt, Germany.
We agreed to convert "Objectives" into "Community Initiatives", which the Council felt was easier to understand and communicate the roles of these efforts in Fedora.
There is no functional change to Objectives; it is just a semantic change.
