Remove everything resembling a comment from "refuse" and put the
explanations into a new file "refuse.README". Some users are simply
copying these files and expecting them to work -- without even
reading them. I don't want to spend any more time closing bogus
PRs from that.
Also correct an error or two in the patterns.
