Rename "sub-values" to operating principles

Darren Murph requested to merge dmurph-master-patch-24136 into master

As part of the MECC build-out and the June 2022 e-group offsite, we are renaming sub-values to operating principles.

The context/agenda item that led to this is as follows: MECC and its examples are heavily values-based. Is there anything else we can do to reinforce values in a visible way and link them to management philosophy?

The goal is for sub-values to be actionable, and to guide behavior. Being clear about their function as an operating principle allows them to be more easily lived by GitLab team members, and less esoteric to other organizations who seek to learn from GitLab's Remote Playbook and MECC management philosophy.
