Set up progressive vote threshold depending on participation
This mirrors the "requisite member vote" process from the W3C bylaws, and avoids making momentous decisions based on a slim majority in vote with low participation. Also includes a minimum quorum. See https://www.w3.org/2024/07/15-ab-minutes.html#r02 See #886

The level of support needed for a [=Advisory Committee Override=] to pass

depends on the level of participation by [=Advisory Committee Representatives=],

(including those who cast an explicit “abstain” ballot):
2812+
* if fewer than 5% participate,
2813+
the vote fails.
2814+
* if at least 5% but no more than 15% participate,
2815+
and the number of “Approve” ballots exceeds three times (3x) the number of “Reject” ballots,
2816+
the vote passes.
2817+
* if more than 15% but fewer than 20% participate,
2818+
and the number of “Approve” ballots exceeds twice (2x) the number of “Reject” ballots,
2819+
the vote passes.
2820+
* if 20% or more participate,
2821+
and the number of “Approve” ballots exceeds the number of “Reject” ballots,
