ebuild-maintenance/removal: Change inconsistent virtual revbump policy
This partly reverts commit f28b85f069c70538c618a3cedece77a359601dd8.
There's no reason to treat virtuals differently here, there's no
exception for it in how Portage works, and it may cause upgrade
difficulties for users.
It's also led to extensive confusion with contributors & new
developers as we have to try to explain the inconsistency
between devmanual and policy for non-virtuals.
See: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/27637
Closes: https://github.com/gentoo/devmanual/pull/303
