Update docs to discourage policy names being numbers
There are times when it is convenient to specify a policy by name or by index (see Related-Change), but policy names can unfortunately collide with indexes. Using a number as a policy name should at least be discouraged. Change-Id: I0cdd3b86b527d6656b7fb50c699e3c0cc566e732 Related-Change: Icf1517bd930c74e9552b88250a7b4019e0ab413e
