LOG: [docs] Add exception to AI tool policy for Bazel build fixer (#183408)

The Bazel RFC concluded earlier this month:
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-ai-assisted-bazel-fixer-bot/89178/93

I felt the best way to document this decision was to incorporate it into
this policy document.

+## Exceptions
+
+We have one exception to this policy for the Bazel-fixer bot. The project
+council approved [this RFC][bazel-rfc] proposing to use a combination of
+[dwyu][dwyu] and LLMs to maintain the Bazel build files.

+Any future exception will be considered individually on its own merits as to
+whether it is useful to the project or extracts work from maintainers.
