Subject: [PATCH] Adds the following sections to the RFD template: (#22993)

#### Proto Specification
 - This ensures that all api changes are reviewed during the
   design and not in a subsequent PR. This is also more closely
   aligns with the design process we force on interview candidates.
#### Backward Compatibility
 - Forces RFD authors to consider how there changes will interact
   with older clusters and clients. Any migration steps should be
   called out directly in the RFD so that when the feature is rolled
   out there are no surprises.
#### Test Plan
 - Causes the authors to think about what quality assurance measures
   need to be in place to catch regressions before they happen. The
   same testing should also occur prior to the initial release that
   the feature will land in if said release isn't a major release.
